Hello all, I'm back.  I haven't had much time since I posted the results of
my quiz oh so long ago to post much, but now finals are over and I should
have some free time...

Before I go sticking my neck out, I should mention that I haven't seen the
episodes leading up to The Five Doctors (first episode of Season 21).  I
can, however, state from certainty (and videotape) the following scene from
same story:

   After the opening titles, we see the Doctor walking around the shiny
   control console, dusting it off and admiring it.  Tegan walks in and
   whether the TARDIS will be more reliable now.  The Doctor goes through
   various assuring motions, and then switches the door-opening lever.
   When the doors fail to open, the Doctor hits the console with his hand,
   causing the doors to open and Tegan to smirk...

I think this indicates that the console was changed for The Five Doctors,
which certainly goes along with the usual practice of changing something at
the beginning of a season.  I'll know in a few weeks for sure, when the
episodes are shown (now that Channel 12 has decided to show something other
than the first four Baker seasons...).
