- This is a Short little information video about 'The Police Public Call Box' this video was aired in 1993 before the repeat of 'Planet of the Daleks' to mark the 30th Aniversary of Doctor who.
Narrated by Colin Baker
This was from my VHS Recording
I can't believe that they were destroying them in 1969. That was Patrick Troughton's last season as the Doctor, so wouldn't Police Boxes be like, really popular with everyone by then?
Maybe symbol wise but I don’t think anyone would actually care about their function anymore and would see them as obsolete.
@@rytamsinha2071 Just like the Doctor's Type 40 TARDIS then....
Happy Times and Places.
I thought that too but I think it's like anything that fades away. Nobody cares at the time and it was a kids show on tv.
It is almost 90 years from the introduction of the Blue Concrete POLICE BOX. Perhaps to celebrate the 90 Anniversary, exact replicas of the 1929 design could be built.
I got to say I found that pretty interesting, I'm from the US so we never had them. I sure didn't realize that they were so varied and different. I actually found the history of them very fascinating, especially their role in WWII.
The Macenzie trench design was a fantastic piece of Architecture. It should have been the template for all Tardises
That one box...
that redefined my life...
i love the TARDIS and police boxes...
Very informative clip. There's still a "Tardis" model police box in Earls Court in London. I was amazed to see it.
I was almost in tears when they showed the workmen tearing apart that one box.
I wonder if this will be on the upcoming Dalek Wars DVD boxset.
In modern times, the classic red public phone boxes have been made obsolete by mobile phones, though their demise has been much slower than the blue police boxes. From what I gather, very few are still connected and have mostly been re-purposed for storing books (for swapping) and defibrillators etc.
It hurt seeing them destroying it with a sledge hammer. 😢
I wish that the 1969 The Home Secretary hadn't destroyed the police boxes..
Imagine, the Doctor, having landed in 1969, comes back to find some cops approaching the TARDIS with a sledgehammer. How funny would it be to see the Doctor running over frantically like "No! Wait! Stop!"
I'm a longtime Doctor Who fan and never knew any of this!thanks and well-done.
It's a shame that they destroyed most of them. Especially because of the tourism appeal nowadays.
PurpleLightning6was9 At least there are still some left out there. I encountered one on my holiday recently.
I only know of four police boxes left. And they’re all in Glasgow.
@@raflamar4146 there's one in Sheffield I know of
@@howardatkinson9789 im heading to see the Sheffield box soon
@@TimeMasterOG There's a rescued one at the tram museum at Crich.
Great Vid', must admit i always assumed the Police Box from which the TARDIS get's her appearance from was made of Wood, Cast Iron or Steel (given most Telephone Box's were)
In 1969 I was born and how, I really and honestly wish I had been born, years before 1969 preferably born in the year 1963 when classic Dr Who started on tv in black and white on bbc1 and ran 26 years before it got axed.
We still have a few in Glasgow, well maintained. In the 10th Doctor's home town. :)
@ 2:57 using the TARDIS like a boss. I also felt shocked they did it (sometimes i think of it as why number 2 had a hard time regenerating)
3:37 - 3:49 I think I could cry watching that.
3:37: 😮😢
DON'T HIT THE TARDIS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
There is like 2 police boxes in Glasgow, my brother tried to go inside it once and thought it was actually the TARDIS, his surprise, a coffee machine
This is an amazing keeper. Thank you for posting.
Interesting that only Cushing's TARDIS opened the right way.
Brilliant video ....thank you ...I will.be building a life size replica of The TARDIS in the summer time .....this video realy helped me get some dimensions into perspective regarding its over all look ....my model will be from the first 1962ish tv show ......which I sat and watched the very first episode of when I was 6 yrs old ....and I fell I love with The TARDIS ....There was an original Police Box at the top of our road in 1963 London ....I would stare longingly at it just wishing I could look inside .....your video all these years later have shown me the interior for the first time ...BRILLIANT ..Thank you
Had no idea the famous Trench design was concrete 1930-1960. Bobbies complained it was too cold, and the supervisors, had installed more powerful heaters................go figure.
They were still in use into the 1980's in Edinburgh, complete with air raid warning siren. In the early morning of one day they all accidently went off indicating that a nuclear attack was imminent, they started to disappear after that.
I Will Travel Back In Time To 1963 To Disguise My Real Life Tardis As An British Police Telephone box.
There's still a police box outside Earls Court tube station, and we still have 4 of them in Glasgow.
That was the 1st DW Movie (1960's), it's events / Doctor (the classic Peter Cushing [star of a hundred horror films & 'Grand Moff Tarkin' in Star Wars]) aren't generally considered Canon, rather as standalone deviations. That said the 1st & 2nd Films were both roughly based on two series episodes
I was in Glasgow a while ago and I saw a police box that had been made into somewhere you can buy tea and coffee, have you seen it? I thought it was really cool

yeah top of byers road on the great western road just out side the botanic gardens. I worked for over a year just accross the road from it . Glasgow still has a fair few, a red one to, these models , (mk 2), were designed in scotland and are classed as listed buildings now
Ironically this too is now 30 years old. Wow!
very informative
espeisly to someone, such as myself, who lives in the USA and has no idea about the history of police boxes
but the doctor without his strange blue box would be nothing.
3:38 to 3:48 the horror
*_"Vandalism..."_*
When they hammered them in, I kept screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT R U DOING" at the screen
I think Mr. Colin Baker said it best: 'Vandalism.'
Yeah, why couldn't they have preserved the Police Boxes and put them into museums? Especially as people now look at them as the TARDIS.
i thought you were saying: "bye bye tardis paradox machine!"
There was recent talk of them comming back with updated equipment around the perimeter of the Queens abode. But the Idea was dismisted I think.
Saw one in Glasgow Scotland, August 2014
DON'T SLEDGE HAMMER THE TARDIS!!!! ;n;
3:37-3:49 It burns!! Why God why?!
Ok that’s fun; the doors to the TARDIS open inwards but this documentary shows the original opening outwards! My assumption is to hide the interior of the box so you can’t tell it’s only a facade. Just a fun thing I noticed whilst watching Tennant era episodes 🙂
Best of both worlds.
I hate the home secretary!!!!!!!, seeing those scenes where the Police Boxes were smashed was heartbreaking..........
1:23. Sandside, Scarborough.
Still there, as far as I know.
I wish they did an episode where they travel back to 1960 London, I really want to see the doctor look through an old box of junk just to find that old out of order sign, and then place it in front of the doors
they did on the christmas special the something something widow and the wardrobe :)
2:15 GUYS HE SAID MATERIALIZED
Good job Daleks can’t handle a sledgehammer...
Oh how I wish I got that poor police box instead of it being demolished!
That was fucking great!!!!!!!
1:39. Now I would like to see that as a TARDIS one day
Watching people destroy police boxes feels bad
2:50 Carter Air Raid siren :D
@andyrevell In the movie DR. Who and the Daleks, it wasn't the DOCTOR, it was played by Peter Cushing and he was human and he invented the TARDIS. So it wasn't exactly based off the TV show
correct me if i'm wrong, but iirc that was the only explanation of the tardis conducted outside of the tardis. which would be an excellent reason to use it, in spite of its other short-comings.
GREAT vid! Thanx!!!
@ytbigjim Watching them tear down (demolish) that one Police box made me extremely sad.
Big thanks
Wow, this comment is 10 years old!
i dont think they should have used the dalek movie footage! it was totaly unrelated
*THANK YOU!* Those films were made to capitalize on the popularity of the Daleks at that time, so "The Doctor", his relationships and the T.A.R.D.I.S. were all watered down to make them less confusing for people who weren't regular viewers of the TV show.
Then that nitwit RTD used this cock-up version of the T.A.R.D.I.S. in his "re-imagining" of the show and it all went downhill from there...
Which Story is that where William Hartnall puts the out of order sign on the tardis and the police man thinks it's a real police box
The War Machines Pt. 1
not enough brandy to counter the arrogance in my opinion
I really hope they don't bring them back. The TARDIS just wont be unique!
Concrete?! I didn't know that they were made of concrete! The props for the show should've been concrete and not wood! Then again it would be heavier but they can hire professional texture designers to make the wood look like concrete. I mean, those people who fix things with ramen noodles sure do know how to make something look completely different than the actual thing.
@doctorwholu Kool the hartnall storys aint got round to watching yet i have seen a few troughton ones but i like all the jon pertwee episodes but this is where it all started great clip lol
For me, Tom Baker will always be THE Doctor
Literally all I see is a Tardis.
A first aid Kit
I can imagen children 5 years before,running in a police box and wasting police time, just check if it was the TARDIS, I would of...
I can totally understand why BBC made a lighter one
maaan moving one would be a killer but I would anyway
That Police Box at 2:26 looks different from all the rest - more streamlined. Why is that?
Its probably a mockup
Probably an earlier model.
Planet of the Daleks. Sooo, wouldn't that be Skaro?
The Doctor (Cushing) calls this Tardis not 'The' Tardis... which one is correct?
can someone tell me what does he says @ 1:23? about the cup of tea?
pillowl_ he's talking about tired police men using the box for a rest and to have a cup of tea
Let's just say I know a guy...
Why can't they get the police box right in the series?? It has been a source of irritation for me nearly 50 years. The only one that came close was the Peter Cushing box in the films.
True, but I reckon Classic Who TARDIS props were closer to resembling real police boxes than New Who props.
Vworp vworp
3:36🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@mufcgazza2k7 The War Machines
So old
Wasn't the first thing 'James Challaghan' (Home Secretary at the time) & the accursed Labour party wrecked either (the RAF, Royal Navy & Aviation Industry all suffered under those hapless neo-communist detritus)
