No, that's not true. Much earlier on, you felt the TARDIS could be lived in quite happily. That's my childhood memories of how I felt about the TARDIS. Lots of exciting rooms and places and interesting turns in space, just out of sight of the dodgy BBC backdrop.
You always felt like the earlier Doctors were strolling back into the control room, from having had a good breakfast in the conservatory overlooking the lawn, sort of thing. In fact, it was one of the things I really like about the USA one, that Sylvester McCoy was so clearly _living_ a comfortable life in the TARDIS.
I always looked out for the new assistant going off and coming back with a previous assistant's clothes and stuff, from the many rooms and cupboards. That sort of stuff was always there. I think it was Lala/Romana that dressed in Victoria's long white nighty...
And the Cloister Bell has always had a cloister, in my head. :-)
I've always understood utterly, the TARDIS has all this going on, but the BBC couldn't afford to build the sets. :-) Hence it taking it to the USA, before they had the budget to even suggest part of it. :-)
