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…

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…

From ‘The Code’ season 2. A classic shot of the Queensland landscape…

and a classic movie – ‘The Apartment’.
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.

A couple of other shows we’ve finished watching:

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…

A second from ‘The Man in the High Castle’

A third from ‘Man in the High Castle’
