Are you using video conversation services like Zoom to communicate with colleagues and friends? You can now chat with them via the TARDIS set! (Sort of.)
The BBC has released high-quality images of various TARDIS interiors, so you can add them as backgrounds while conversing online. These include shots of the latest TARDIS, piloted by Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor, plus Jo Martin’s “classic” interior from Fugitive of the Judoon.
There’s also the TARDIS console used primarily by the Ninth and Tenth Doctors, The Time Monster TARDIS, and a few Fourth Doctor control rooms, including the Season 14 one, introduced in The Masque of Mandragora.
Just visit the Doctor Who website, open your selected TARDIS image, and save the full-sized photograph. It’ll now be saved to your PC for use as a background. Not sure how to do it? Here’s our simple guide:
