"Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has explained the decision to revamp the TARDIS. A new version of the Doctor&amp;#039;s craft - designed by Michael Pickwoad - will debut in Christmas Day&amp;#039;s festive special &amp;#039;The Snowmen&amp;#039;.  &amp;quot;I thought we&amp;#039;d been getting progressively whimsical with the interior of the TARDIS,&amp;quot; Moffat said at a screening of the episode last night (December 19). &amp;quot;I started to think, &amp;#039;Well, why is that? It&amp;#039;s not a magical place. It&amp;#039;s actually a machine&amp;#039;. And actually potentially, as you&amp;#039;ll see more spectacularly later, quite a scary place sometimes. We make a lot of use of that.&amp;quot;  The Who Christmas episode will also debut a revamped version of the show&amp;#039;s theme tune and a new title sequence, while companion actress Jenna-Louise Coleman will return to the series following her surprise cameo in &amp;#039;Asylum of the Daleks&amp;#039; earlier this year. &amp;#039;The Snowmen&amp;#039; - an hour-long special - will air on December 25 at 5.15pm on BBC One. &amp;gt; Matt Smith teases Christmas Doctor Who: &amp;#039;We have killer snow&amp;#039; Photo gallery - Doctor Who Christmas episode &amp;#039;The Snowmen&amp;#039;:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
