'Oh, undergraduates talking to each other, I expect. I've trying to have it banned.' This is Shada, in TC3, 3rd November 1979. #DoctorWho #CGSets

A CG recreation of Professor Chronotis' room from Doctor Who's Shada. It shows the TARDIS police box standing in a wood-panelled study, lined with bookshelves.

A CG recreation of the spaceship cell from Doctor Who's Shada. It shows a grey and white, three-walled room, with the fourth wall open to camera. There are no doors.

A CG recreation of two sets from Doctor Who's Shada in studio. It shows Professor Chronotis' wood-panelled study, alongside the grey control room on the Thinktank space station. This shows a central console with a number of reclined seats built around it.

A CG recreation of the studio from Doctor Who's Shada. It shows the sets for the Thinktank control room, the Professor's study, the spaceship cell, and the Krarg generation chamber: a vat which is able to rise from a horizontal to vertical position. There is also a large area set aside for blue-screen work, with blue floor and wall cloths.
