The Tardis Console of the 4th Doctor: a history of transmogrification 

Is that a 'baptism by blunder', and henceforth the instigator of Gothic Classic Who shall be known as Phillip no longer and will be Tom Hincliffe, and a call went out for a clean up on console room floor two, as even though there wasn't a font, the fault locator would have blown a bulb, repeatedly flashing on and off everytime the image of the secondary console room was flipped when it was discussed and held up when a comparison with previous control rooms were made.

I was about to add a comment to that effect as well, about the wood warping due to poor storage, before I saw yours. I always felt this a real tragedy of Dr Who, because I really loved the cosy, old-timey feel of the secondary console room!

Was it also left in the rain at one point? Or am I thinking of something else?

I think you might be referring to the enterprise A bridge set before filming on star trek the undiscovered country began the set was placed outside and was damaged beyond repairing a freak rain storm

@@JackRodgers-so9oh Hmmm, so I see. I guess my memory must've cheated in some way.

The secondary console room was never damaged or warped. In fact the walls where repainted and used as corridor walls until 1983 and the scanner unit repainted and used in the season 15 console room onwards

It was so atmospheric and, for me as a kid, pretty mind-bending to discover that an alien spaceship could be decked out like that.

It's kind of funny - TARDIS Builders has this information but another popular source, themindrobber's console history page, still says it's new- so you can probably tell where someone did their research depending on whether they say it's a new prop. (I'm sure the TARDIS Builders consensus is correct, having made a virtual model myself the details all line up)

I prefer yours. 😉
