It's supposed to be serious, but it's just crappy... #doctorwho

And that's one of the things I like most about it. #doctorwho

I see what you're doing. And I know your love for The Doctor but... #doctorwho

Still, I'm looking forward to Moffat/Smith's era. RTD really muddled up the show in his later seasons, and I want to be a fan again. #doctorwho

If this is real, I'm a bit relieved. There were rumors that they were going back to the stark white iPod look of the 1960s, and I'm not sure if I could handle that. If nothing else, this isn't a huge departure from the previous model. #doctorwho

@Jeriba: I am also glad they didn't go back to the white interior. Many more lighting possibilities this way, and the amber color is a much warmer and more inviting space to be in. #doctorwho

We know the old TARDIS gets heavily damaged, so presumably what we'll see is Matt Smith's repair job (bodged together from bits and bobs nicked from Amy's house) before triggering the self-repair mechanism which resets it to the more traditional white one they're supposed to be using for the rest of season 5.

I'm not really sure what point I'm making here. Sorry. :)

From some Moffat interviews I've read, I get the impression that Moffat is a huge Dr. Who fanboy, and seems to have a wonderfully nostalgic spot in his heart for the old stuff. I have no doubt that we'll see more of the TARDIS interior and TARDIS tinkering that was common pre-reboot, along with some other modern revisions of older Doctor tendencies/idiosyncrasies.
I'm actually very entertained to see what comes from this, and how it gets integrated into the show.

That's OK, you're amongst friends here. Your comment is correct that the TARDIS is mostly irrelevant to the story in Dr. Who, except for the occasional episode.
However, its external look is iconic, and its internal look changes fairly regularly, so it is interesting that they are looking for input from children.
Also, you get an extra point for not referring to the TARDIS as a "MacGuffin".

I'm also pretty jazzed to see what they'll do with the TARDIS. It reminds me that I haven't been keeping up with Dr Who enough lately.
