A lot more TV viewing

Abducted in plain site‘ (documentary)
Why do American sit coms like to stick classic UK phone boxes inside all the time? This from the ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt‘.
The Canadians do it too – ‘Orphan Black‘ where Felix has a phone box inside his flat.
German sci-fi drama ‘Dark‘ sets this scene for the year 1986.
Not a box as such but I like this scene from ‘Sahara’

Christmas TV

Back to the Future

Down in the basement

It seems odd that in some deep basement in a fictional Gotham there is a real UK phone box lurking in the background:

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:

Finale

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…
