Doctor Who’s Most Iconic Set Has Now Been Torn Down
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
The iconic TARDIS set used in Doctor Who was demolished at Bad Wolf studios as the series enters a prolonged hiatus. The set, which debuted in the 60th‑anniversary specials and featured in Ncuti Gatwa’s seasons, had been retained after the final season’s production ended. Its removal follows the BBC’s announcement that Bad Wolf will not continue the show and that a new production partner is being sought, with a potential return slated for 2028‑2029. The demolition was confirmed by Bad Wolf’s Jane Tranter on Instagram.
