The aged incarnation of the Doctor who used the Berillian time transformer still travelled in the TARDIS, which flew through a lime-green Time Vortex. The Ship's exterior was now a brighter shade of blue than the usual TARDIS blue; when landing, it would first appear slightly above the ground, and then fully settle down as it materialised.
Interior
This TARDIS's console room was fairly dark, lit up with the blue glow of the short, TARDIS blue time rotor at the centre of its control console. Wiring hung from the ceiling in several places. The TARDIS scanner screen was mobile, allowing the Doctor to pull it down and show its content to people with more emphasis. Text and images on the scanner appeared in electric green on a black background.
This TARDIS possessed an inner door with a large porthole through which the Doctor could somehow watch what was going on directly outside the TARDIS, despite the police box outer plasmic shell's outer door being clearly distinct from this door, and consequently porthole-less. The glass of the porthole was penetrable by a sonic screwdriver's soundwaves, allowing the Doctor to still influence the surroundings of the box even while he was safe inside.

Behind the scenes
- While primarily based on the "classic" era TARDIS control room designs, this TARDIS' internal design reused the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie's concept of a TARDIS scanner video-screen able to be manually pulled into position by the Doctor at their whim, a detail which would be incorporated from Rose onwards into all modern TARDIS interiors.
- Only three of the TARDIS control console's six panels were finished to be viewable on-screen. The rest were left blank.[1]
- Impressed with the quality of the set, New Zealand Superannuation set up the TARDIS police box and control room from this advert on display in their offices in Auckland, New Zealand and allowed visitors to tour it.[1]
