00:00BBC's Doctor Who has been hit by yet another leak about its top-secret production,
00:04no doubt making the cast and crew wish they could jump in the TARDIS, go back in time
00:08and stop the spill of secrets. Incidentally, thanks to the most recent breach, we now know
00:13exactly what the TARDIS looks like after an image surfaced on social media Thursday of the
00:17new console room in the time-traveling ship. The picture was taken on-set in Cardiff,
00:22Wales, seemingly by a member of the production team. In the near 55-year history of the show,
00:27the TARDIS has changed numerous times, quite often when the lead actor changes, and for fans
00:31it's a hugely anticipated event. The new TARDIS set can be seen in the full leaked picture and
00:36features crystalline elements and hexagonal shapes as seen in an official promotional picture
00:40released by the BBC last month. It also matches the style of the new sonic screwdriver,
00:45the Doctor's all-encompassing tool, as revealed at San Diego Comic-Con last month. And look,
00:50we have one here. In the wake of the leak, Doctor Who production designer Arwell Jones took to
00:54Twitter to vent his understandable frustration at the situation, writing,
00:58"'Just found out that there's a leaked photo of the TARDIS interior. That alone makes me livid.
01:04The fact that it's a dreadful photo, taken by someone with no hint of artistry and unlit,
01:08makes me absolutely effing incandescent with rage. Oof. Looks like he wants to exterminate someone.'
01:15The massive secrecy and crackdown on spoilers from new showrunner Chris Chibnall makes this latest
01:20breach surprising, but it certainly isn't the first instance of something like this occurring.
01:24Just two weeks ago, stills photographer Ben Blackall inadvertently released a dozen promotional
01:29pictures of the new Doctor Who season on his website. The images revealed a glimpse of the new TARDIS,
01:34unannounced guest cast and upcoming storylines. And earlier this week, BBC studios continued their
01:40search for the source of the leaked footage from Jodie Whittaker's first episode. Season 11 of
01:45Doctor Who will open with a feature-length episode, followed by nine 50-minute installments in the
01:50fall on BBC America. To read more on this story, head to THR.com. For The Hollywood Reporter News,
