And here's a little video walkaround of the set, which even includes a very half-hearted impression of Hartnell. In it, I forget to mention that the metamophosis between Doctor Whos was shot earlier in the day. #DoctorWho

Today it's 43 years since #DoctorWho Castrovalva Part One was broadcast. Here's something I haven't put online before. The biggest TARDIS set the series did. Designer Janet Budden used every bit of stock scenery, and then made some more... 'Now, ordinary spaces....' #CGSets
