I’ve become very fond of Father Brown. He’s a follow up to Miss Marple so what’s not to love. This scene cracked me up – another fab use for a phone box.

From the recent adaptation of Jekyl and Hyde:
The iconic red box even turns up on a US highway in ‘Austin Powers: the spy who shagged me’.

In the refugee camp at Bexhill (Children of Men):
Have been watching ‘Relic Hunter’ and in the last episode we have this:
And I am finishing off ‘Farscape’ (not sure why I’m bothered but I’ve got this far so thought I should keep at it). This is from an episode in the third series:

On a remote army outpost, a fearsome alien warlord called the Fisher King sets in motion a twisted plan to ensure his own survival. The ripples will be felt around the universe. Is this chain of events inevitable? And can the Doctor do the unthinkable?

I’ve wondered for a while why disused phone boxes weren’t being used as ATMs. I wonder no longer. I just came back from South Kensington in London and saw my first in what I think will be a continuing trend. Note that although one side has become an ATM, another side remains a phone.
