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…
More on tv…
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’.
New York City, USA
In New York we went to the Intrepid Museum which has a submarine on site. There are loads of phones scattered throughout the sub and they had an example of a sonar phone. So not phone boxes as such but still…

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…

Mojave Phone Booth
I listen to a podcast called ‘99% Invisible’. It’s an American series I have been onto for a couple of years – although I only listen in spasmodically. Podcast no. 202 is title ‘Mojave Phone Booth’ . Cool.
It has led me to a movie I didn’t know about ‘Mojave Phone Booth’ (2006) and the Wikipedia page on the artefact itself – you guessed it, a phone box in the Mojave desert.
This goes a long way to proving that I am not alone in my fascination for phone boxes.
The return of Twin Peaks
‘Person of Interest’ my have ended but ‘Twin Peaks’ made a return, bringing the surreal mind of David Lynch to the small screen again – you were expecting weird but perhaps not this weird. I don’t know if the screen shot below is an alternative universe or what (created from atomic rage??) but glad to see a phone box features:
