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’.

Fight scene

‘The Continental’, set in the John Wick universe, has a great fight scene in a phone box. Enjoy.

Starts with a call

Phone boxes still get a mention in one way or another in the press. Here is a lovely example of a love story that started with a call from a public phone.

USA holiday

I recently went to Colorado, Utah and Wyoming for a couple of weeks holiday. I noticed that there are not a lot of phone boxes around. In Denver, the only one in the street I came across was an iconic British red box – outside a British pub of course. Inside was something even closer to my heat – a phone box full of whisky!

Molly Brown’s house had a phone, which in 1910 would have been rare, but it seems that was a replica. There were, unexpectedly, phone boxes inside the Denver Capitol building, although I don’t know if they still work. Apart from the airport, which appear to be next generation what with having screens attached, the only other phone we came across was ouside the Blanding visitor centre.
