I finally watched the finale of ‘Person of Interest‘. Of course there were a couple of important phone shots that I recorded for posterity. I’m going to miss this show…

Christmas tv viewing
Woody Allen pretends to make a phone call in the tv series ‘Crisis in six scenes‘ and in the New Year’s day ‘Sherlock‘ episode there is a classic London scene with a phone box…
New viewing
Adam Curtis has released a new documentary called ‘HyperNormalisation‘. I highly recommend it. Here is a screen shot of a phone box in Russia – not in working order but I love the architecture around it.

I really do watch too much tv…
Here are a couple from the classic ‘Twin Peaks’ :
A recent show set back in the 1960s – ‘11.22.63‘. Here we see the phone box seconds before it gets demolished in a car crash…
And yet another from ‘Person of Interest’ . This show has been great in presenting new ways to use the phone. This one gets bricked up behind a wall and still manages to work years later…
A couple more viewings
A second from ‘The Man in the High Castle’

Current TV favourite
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.

This was a recent episode from ‘Arrow’ set in the USA. So why is there a classic UK red phone box in the background?
From ‘The Code’ season 2. A classic shot of the Queensland landscape…
and a classic movie – ‘The Apartment’.
