As we're heading to the release of a new season (or christmas special anyway) I got to wondering why is there no TARDIS tour/design program. Seems like an official release from the BBC allowing you to tour a virtual TARDIS or the doctors throughout the years. Maybe even a program to build your own even if it were a place room x type thing would be of interest to the fans. So I'm wondering does the lack of this seem odd to anyone else?

The Tardis is vast and, judging by what I've seen over the years, the rooms and corridors move about a bit, particularly when it is necessary for a given room, normally remote, to be reached quickly by her favourite Timelord, or when she wishes to make things difficult for a Companion she dislikes. Consequently any map or layout could easily be out of date before it is fully generated.

Technology is at a point where such a thing would still require a lot of manpower to program. I doubt it's financially sensible for the BBC.

Hmmm maybe.
Even if its out of date you could have TARDIs's through out the years or something from the 1st doctor to the 11th surely. They did an easter egg of the control room and they have the rooms for the shows that get visited. Even an unnoficial or kids version that rather than showing the rooms in all their glory has a spreadsheet type design your own with "control room", "Bedroom", "Label room", etc on top of pictures of the room e.g. a picture of a pool labelled pool you can move around and place.

I seem to remember a couple of features a little like this on the BBC website over the years. I'm pretty sure they had a 360-degree view of the TARDIS console room. I also think they had something where you clicked on a map and saw an image of a room as if you'd walked there, though there were obviously only a couple of rooms.
Generally, except for the console room, the TARDIS is meant to be a plot device, not a fleshed-out setting. Moffat likes to tear down the rules.
