Taskmaster storyboard

Regular advertising

Here’s an ad I came across recently. The red phone box is so flexible…

The small screen lately

The above are from Kaos, which I’m doing a binge of at the moment.

The ones below are from the movie Argyll (a contribution from Matthew on a flight across the globe somewhere), the backyard of The Taskmaster’s house and Australian comedy ‘Colin from Accounts’.

‘One year +76’ march, London

A couple of weekends ago saw a march in London, in support of the Palestinian cause. These photos were sent in by Shiraz Chanawala, who attended the march. I’ve included many of his photos are they are too good not to share. Thank-you Shiraz.

Junior Good Citizens

I came across an article in an edition of the ‘BT Today’ magazine, dated August 1991. Here, children (very cool kids from their fashion sense) are being taught how to be good citizens by using the phone to call the police when they come across trouble.

Sir Giles Gilbert Scott

Sir Scott designed the red phone box and while in Scotland I came across anther of his designs – a church tower in Oban, seen below.

Scotland

Lots of phone boxes still around in Scotland. Here are some from Mull and Skye.
