More phone viewing
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’
A third from ‘Man in the High Castle’
Predestination
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. Make a phone call to a cross-dressing club and when you give the right code phrase the door in the wall behind the phone box will open and let you into the club.
Fargo 2
The second Fargo TV series (wonderful) showed us a few phone shots and one box in particular got a lot of use:
Recent viewing
I don’t actually know this programme but couldn’t ignore the ad, for obvious reasons;
This shot is from the penultimate episode of ‘Humans‘:
From the recent adaptation of Jekyl and Hyde:
The iconic red box even turns up on a US highway in ‘Austin Powers: the spy who shagged me’.
Man in the High Castle again
Finally the second episode of this fabulous programme has appeared on my Amazon watchlist. In an earlier blog I posted a shot of a bubble covered phone but in this scene it’s something more traditional:
Last night’s ‘Dr Who’
This from the latest episode of ‘Dr Who’:
Before the Flood
On a remote army outpost, a fearsome alien warlord called the Fisher King sets in motion a twisted plan to ensure his own survival. The ripples will be felt around the universe. Is this chain of events inevitable? And can the Doctor do the unthinkable?
Holiday viewing
We finished off the 2nd series of Extant on holiday in Cyprus. There was a scene with a decrepit phone box that was part of a high tech security system:
Post-apocalyptic phone box
Even after the zombie hoards have taken over the phone box continues to be relevant – as seen in this episode of Z Nation…
