Peter Capaldi has hinted that he’s hoping for his own TARDIS set in Doctor Who.

Capaldi took part in An Afternoon with Mark Gatiss and Friends yesterday in aid of the London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard.

The last major redesign of the TARDIS set was for 2012’s Christmas special, ‘The Snowmen’, with some additions made in Season 8’s opener, ‘Deep Breath’.

Speaking about using Matt Smith’s TARDIS and Sonic Screwdriver, Capaldi revealed: “I have to say, the BBC are very responsible with license payer’s money. So they feel if they’ve spent a certain amount of money on a certain amount of props, then they won’t get rid of those props until they’ve been used. This applies equally to the TARDIS. It’s essentially Matt’s.”

Discussing how he’d like the Twelfth Doctor’s TARDIS to look, he commented: “Roundels. I like the old Sixties roundels. That was the coolest look and I think it’s also appropriate for the way this Doctor dresses.”

He added: “It’s got a sort of Edwardian look about it  – not the actual console – it’s the bits and pieces lying around. Cricket bats, maps and odds and ends and things. There’s a Jules Verne quality to it – I would like to make it more Bauhaus.”

Season 9 begins filming in January. It is currently unknown if Jenna Coleman will be returning after this year’s Christmas special.
