No, no, Dr. Who’s phone box (the Tardis) was green - a dark olive, grey-green actually. This picture, actually, somehow made me think Monty Python - as if it would suddenly waddle away the moment someone tried to open the door. Or perhaps some classic scene from Fawlty Towers - maybe Basil is trying to call his own Inn for some reason and, in the days before cell (mobile) phones, he’s reduced to finding the only phone box in the area, conveniently hidden in a forest (and of course his wife immediately knows its him when he places the call anyway).

To millions of Americans, this picture begs the question: “Where’s Dr. Who?”
