Wish I lived so near that many Police Boxes! Anyway, your Logopolis reference got me thinking:
It would have been a lot of work for a gag, but it would have been fun (and funny) to see The Master turn up with a Tardis looking like a Glasgow box - especially if it was in its original red livery!  ;D
Now I'm also thinking: in the Whoniverse - without a popular TV show to firmly plant blue boxes in the hearts of millions - would the Glasgow boxes have been a) Preserved, and b) so often re-painted blue?

Ooh...!  I particularly love this torrential rain shot, very "film noir"!

I can't recall, has the series ("classic" or "revival") ever depicted the TARDIS in the rain?

Sincerely,

Bill

Journey's End did... Maybe Curse of Peladon?

I didn't actually take this one; a friend sent it shortly after I got my box (there were weeks of torrential rain before I could put her up in the garden).

Coincidentally, that same friend is an ex-police officer who used the Glasgow boxes while on the beat. He still has a key somewhere (I know what you're thinking and I have hinted).

It's great being able see them... I've still got three to get my picture taken with. It's lovely for me that they've always been there. I'm so glad Mr Westwater came to the rescue.

I think in the DWM article he stated he wasn't really a Who fan; he was motivated to save a piece of history... So perhaps he would still have saved the Glasgow boxes in your scenario...

Nice pics!

Like the scarf, too.

I always say, "Wear you're Doctor Who scarf with pride!"

Thank you.

Found a shop on eBay a few years ago that made very accurate scarves, but you could ask for custom lengths. Got this and a Season 18 to the length of my duffle coat so I can wear them in public without being too self conscious. They also look rather nice with my more formal overcoat.

Thank you so much... However, I didn't build her. She's a rehomed and (so far) weatherproofed This Planet Earth box.
