Reference Pictures: The Barry Newbery TARDIS (Original) (1976)

A behind-the-scenes pic from the studio sessions for Fang Rock.

The long shot of the TARDIS on top of the building in The Sunmakers show a black blanket taped to the back.  Also look for the promo shots of Tom and Mary Tamm in their Ribos Operation costumes, there is no back to the prop and you can see the street scene behind them.

Actually, just go back to the first page of this thread and all the answers are already there in some form.

I reckon the white stuff on the pillars is form the quarry in destiny, but I still agree that it's from Nimon

Yes, definitely from Nimon. The background has been blanked out, but it's the TARDIS landing on Skonnos in ep. 2. I remember that pic from the cover of Doctor Who Weekly (as it was back then!).

It is absolutely from The Horns of Nimon. The black area has been added - normally it shows Skonnos arrival hall.

Are the corner posts on the Newberry Tardis just beveled on the edges. I can't seem to see any detail that they have the traditional quarter round post.

[DoctorWho8]

I think they just have the corners knocked off with a small quarter round. I found this.


I also found this for just a general reference.  You can see the two slats below the top sign.

Nice pictures, very interesting.    What do I see behind tom's feet - is that concrete cobbles instead of a floor?

[Kingpin]

It's got an edge (see left of Tom's leg) and appears to be folded up against the side of the interior, looks more like paper than the ground of the yard it's in.

[kiwidoc]

That would make more sense-  cheers!

You can see the two slats below the top sign.

Bill, aren't those two slats below the top sign very similar to how they've built the New Series boxes? I seem to remember there was a discussion about that, but as usual now that I'm looking for it, I can't find that thread.

Well, the NST's only have one solid slat, where as the Newbury uses two smaller slats.  Because the sign boxes protrude out farther than with other boxes (excluding the 1996 prop), the slats always seem to be in shadow.  I think most people thought the Newbury used only 1 slat because the NSTs shared some traits.  I think once people saw the shot from Androids of Tara after they leave the TARDIS, the underside of the sign box is lit up, allowing people to see the two slats for the first time.

You can see the two slats under the sign boxes clearly in this picture.
This scene was also supposed to be at the back of the TARDIS in the programme but was obviously shot against one of the side walls as we've already established there was no back to the prop.

This shot shows the TYJ doors and is great for showing off the texture. I think the prop looks at it's best here.

  Are those the TYJ doors? The handles are in the right place, but the panels don't look shallow or beveled enough.

EDIT: trimmed the quote -- SW

Yes, when Peter Davison started, they refitted the doors for the Newbery prop with the wooden "master" doors from the TYJ model.  You can see the refitted box in Castrovalva and Black Orchid.  Then for some reason, a sign box was "borrowed" from the Newbery and put onto the front for Time Flight. They next season, the borrowed sign box was gone.
