*Warning: Spoilers ahead for Doctor Who\u2019s first 60th anniversary special The Star Beast.*<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new TARDIS interior<\/a> has been unveiled in the 60th anniversary special The Star Beast<\/a> \u2013 and it\u2019s glorious.<\/p>\n

As David Tennant returned to the show, this time as the Fourteenth Doctor, the TARDIS also had to get a bit of a makeover \u2013 of course! The new interior is a beautiful sparkling white and is a little reminiscent of the very first TARDIS, helmed by William Hartnell\u2019s First Doctor.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019ve had hints and teases before, the new special shows the TARDIS in all its glory, with one scene showing Tennant\u2019s Doctor joyfully sprinting around the full length of it.<\/p>\n

Plus, Catherine Tate\u2019s Donna Noble<\/a> isn\u2019t too unhappy with it either \u2013 especially when she realises it has its own coffee machine. Not too shabby.<\/p>\n

Chatting about the new TARDIS at the premiere of The Star Beast, showrunner Russell T Davies explained: \u201cI think I said \u2018big and white\u2019 in the script. Isn\u2019t it amazing? It\u2019s such a piece of engineering \u2013 you\u2019ve got to be able to walk on the walkways and run around. It\u2019s a proper working studio with health and safety practices and things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asking producer Phil Collinson what he said in the script, it was clarified that he wrote: \u201cBig and spherical,\u201d and that there are \u201cechoes\u201d of the First Doctor\u2019s TARDIS in there.<\/p>

Davies added: \u201cOver the past few years, Clara flew off in a white TARDIS and then Jodie Whittaker had the Fugitive Doctor and she had a white TARDIS and I loved the white TARDIS. I spent a couple of years thinking, \u2018I like that,\u2019 not knowing I was coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new TARDIS has already been through the ringer, with The Star Beast ending<\/a> with Donna knocking her cup of coffee over the controls and sending it a little bit haywire. As for where we\u2019re off to next, only time will tell!<\/p>
