This console room was much larger than any that came before or after it. Additionally, the actual [[TARDIS control console]] was not the main feature - like most other models - but instead one feature in the middle. A homely [[fireplace]] was in one corner, with an [[arm chair]] next to it, which the Doctor often read in. The walls all around where covered in books, including in an alcove to the side. | This console room was much larger than any that came before or after it.
