    There’s not many phone boxes left in the UK of any design now.

    I’ve seen a few converted into tiny libraries or art displays.

      The red ones converted to something else I always enjoy. We even have some of them here in Germany now.

        So the tardis lost her ability to adopt to the time and environment? What a shame.

          I’ve always said that Tardis would take the appearance of a chemical toilet in today’s world.

          It can be placed everywhere without raising any suspicion at all.

          Well yes, that’s the explanation given for masquerading as a police box from the 60s at all times, chameleon circuits are broken and brakes are stuck on

            Yes, happened in the very first episode. What a coincidence.

            I love how the plot of the first two seasons is that doctor shows the teachers of his granddaughter (yes, he has family) that the tardis works and goes with them to the stone age. Then he tries to go back and it takes him 2 seasons.

      The TARDIS is a police box, not a regular telephone box. Very few of them survive now.

    I’d say that David Cameron and every PM since him were several times worse downgrades than making an uglier version of an obsolete box but that’s just me 🤷

          Blair was Thatcher-lite. How was he any better than Cameron?

            Nah, Blair was more of a British Clinton (which is plenty bad enough!) with warlike/sycophantic tendencies. Cameron was Thatcher Modern.

              Blair built on Thatcher’s legacy. That’s a simple fact https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/18/blair-thatcher-legacy-labour-zarah-sultana

                Blair was to Thatcher what Clinton was to Reagan: while both cynically perpetuated most of the society-destroying new norms of their non-immediate predecessors and even vehemently resisted attempts to undo them, they didn’t make big reforms to make things much worse still like Dubya and Cameron did.
