In fact, it was the console room used immediately prior to ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''. ''[[World Game (novel)|World Game]]'' hints that this modern-to-the-Second-Doctor console room was a result of a complete overhaul that the CIA did on his TARDIS as a sort of reward for his good performance in the mission they sent him on in the pages of that novel. They also throw in a [[Stattenheim remote control]] at the same time that they give the TARDIS a spruce-up. | ||
