Spyfall : Dafydd Shurmer/Darryl Hammer The Master's Console

[Kingpin]

I've listed both the series Production Designer Dafydd Shurmer, and the South African Production Designer Darryl Hammer as it's unknown yet which of the two was responsible for the design of the Master's TARDIS console.

[Angelus Lupus]

Maybe it's because we didn't see it for very long, or I wasn't paying attention, but I missed that the 'red glowy-thingy and round table' combo was likely the console and time rotor.

Side note - Is this the first time in the shows history that the Master's console room has been radically different to the Doctor's? (Minor changes to rotor or lighting notwithstanding)

[klamath]

Did he somehow apply the chameleon circuit to the inside of the TARDIS to match the outside? It raises questions about how much control a Time Lord has over the interior of their TARDIS. The Doctor's TARDIS has changed its interior itself more than once (at the start of Eleven and Thirteen's runs), Two famously pointed out that Three had 'been doing the place up a bit', and Twelve seemed to suggest to Clara at the start of his run that he had redecorated.

[Cardinal Hordriss]

It made me think of Chronotis's TARDIS in terms of the interior being disguised as a normal, if cluttered, living space.

It's not explicitly stated, but I think it's implicitly suggested it's the main control Console... Though I feel it could've done with more actual buttons*

*In that regard, it reminds me of how control-free the Rani's first TARDIS console was... Maybe by the time TARDIS design had reached the level of development present in the craft stolen by the Rani (not including Dimensions in Time and Missy/Master #7, had a console that was activated more by telepathically/touch sensitively/Theremin-like controls than physical buttons...

I know this is an old thread, but given that later this episode/season we get confirmation that the Master went back to Gallifrey, my thinking is that this is not a type 40 TARDIS, which could explain how integrated the disguising shell is. Perhaps it's an older model, similar to the Type 12 we saw in Shada.

[Rassilons Rod]

Perhaps it's more like the cafe that Clara and the other one went off in. The inside of the building is actually still part of the exterior of the TARDIS.

*cough* back to prop building
