When the interior of the TARDIS used by the [[First Doctor]] was first seen by [[Ian Chesterton]] and [[Barbara Wright]], it was a bright white room, with roundels on the walls and a large computer bank taking up a major part of the "back" wall. These computer banks contained the [[fault locator]] and various systems relating to navigational control. ([[TV]]: {{cs|An Unearthly Child (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Daleks (TV story)|namedep=The Dead Planet}}) One wall consisted of white hexagons with roundels implemented on them. The Doctor was known to store brandy behind one of these roundels.

On one occasion, the doors resembled those of a [[lift]], ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Klepton Parasites (comic story)}}) while on another, they were flat and simplistic with three roundels on each side. On this occasion, the doors were golden and the walls were velvet, while the console was orange.

[[File:SecondDoctor1.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Second Doctor]] with his TARDIS linked to the Stattenheim remote. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}})]]During the [[Second Doctor]]'s encounter with the [[Sixth Doctor]], the control room looked distinctly different; it appeared similar to the grey interior and console later used by the [[Fourth Doctor]] but as large as the one used by the [[Fifth Doctor|Fifth]] and with an additional [[teleport control]] on it.

By some accounts, this was because these events occurred after [[the Doctor's trial (The War Games)|the Doctor's trial]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|World Game (novel)}}, etc.) | By some accounts, this was because these events occurred after [[the Doctor's trial (The War Games)|the Doctor's trial]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|World Game (novel)}}, etc.) and actually saw the Doctor using a [[TARDIS (World Game)|completely different TARDIS]], a [[Type 97]], whose exterior had been made to resemble a police box in an attempt by the CIA to make him feel at home. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|World Game (novel)}}) Other accounts suggested this encounter did indeed slot during the Doctor's original travels with [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]] and [[Victoria Waterfield|Victoria]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Legacy of Gallifrey (short story)}}, [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Black Hole (audio story)}}) According to one of those latter accounts, the Second Doctor temporarily synchronised his TARDIS with [[Gallifrey]] by linking it to the [[Stattenheim remote control]]. It was reflected by the change in its change of appearance. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Black Hole (audio story)}}) | ||
