Trivia
====================================
The Junk TARDIS console was the subject of a 2009 design competition on Blue Peter. The winning design was by then-12-year-old Susannah Leah, whose subsequent visits to the BBC Art Department and location filming for this story were featured in the 10 May 2011 episode of Blue Peter.
The Eleventh Doctor Companion mentions additional script elements that were cut before broadcast, including the fact the TARDIS indicates that the chameleon circuit is not broken - she simply stays as a police box because the Doctor likes it; and, during their farewell conversation, the TARDIS was to tell the Doctor he was forgiven for his actions in the Time War (providing narrative bookending to the earlier discussion about the Doctor wanting to be forgiven).
One of the code words to enter the archived control room is "Delight" (Delerium, who once was Delight), referencing the character of that name in Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" series, who (much like Idris/the TARDIS) speaks in odd but meaningful phrases. (Delerium, who was once Delight.)
It's possible this episode was based in part on an unused story called Space Sargasso that was written by Philip Martin and submitted on 28 December 1983 for Season 23. It had the TARDIS pulled to a spaceship graveyard controlled by the Master.
