In late 2009-early 2010, a ''Blue Peter'' contest invited viewers to submit designs for a new TARDIS control console to be featured in an upcoming episode. On 17th February 2010, [[Matt Smith]] chose twelve-year-old [[Susannah Leah]]'s design as the winner; it was announced that [[Neil Gaiman]]'s episode in [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|Series 5]] would feature this design in some way. However the episode's funding ran out of money and it was pushed back to Series 6, when it appeared as ''[[The Doctor's Wife]]'' and featured Leah's design as the [[Junk TARDIS]] console.
