“I’ll take that Time Travelling phone booth of Dr. Who...”

That thing is a British Police Box, not a phone booth. It’s called the Tardis, and the guy STOLE it, which is why he drives it as he does; rather like a neophyte car thief who can’t drive a stick trying to escape with a Mazda RX-7.

Must have gotten Ted and Bill’s phone booth mixed up with Dr. Who’s box. Actually, having watched every episode of “Midsommer’s Murders” (WETA-UK), I should have recognized that the red box was a police call box and rain shelter.

Never really got into Dr. Who. Some of the weird aliens reminded me of the boxes used in Buzz Corey and His Space Cadets or Captain Midnight shows in the early 50’s. Tacky!

Give me a good old “Wormhole” from “Farscape” any time though the one in “The Black Hole” was pretty impressive too.

Re “It’s called the Tardis, and the guy Stole it, which is why he drives it as he does..” Does this mean that he is a “ReTardist”?
