[QUOTE]Originally posted by FawnDoo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [qb]The blue Police Boxes have been fased out over the last 40 years. The last functioning box was decommissioned a few years ago. There aren't any left and they haven't been nearly as ubiquitious in London for a long time. It's quite likely Rose hasn't seen one.[/qb][/QUOTE]There are still a few about here and there, but they've been left as interesting features rather than functional police boxes. There are three in Glasgow that I can think of off the top of my head, though one of them has been painted red and another has been turned into a little coffee kiosk called "Coppucino". There are even some pics <a href="http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~gbarr/tardis/">here</a>. :) According to <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4380929.stm">this article on the BBC</a> there are 237 of them still on the map across the UK. Interestingly the police box idea is making a comeback: they recently put a new chrome police box in Glasgow that works with touchscreens and provides crimefighting information. You can find a pic <a href="http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/hi/news/5042746.html">here</a>, but I think it lacks the charm of the older models. [QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [qb]It will be interesting when we catch up with where the BBC currently is. My understanding is that they have finished this season and are waiting to start the 2006 season.[/qb][/QUOTE]I think it's due to start on BBC1 in April. In the meantime if you want a taste of what's on the way you can always check out the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">BBC Doctor Who website</a>: they have put the interactive episode "Attack of the Graske" up for anyone to play. Needs Flash and a fast connection. You might not want to check it out if you want to avoid any and all spoilers for future episodes but if you can, check it out - you get to fly the TARDIS. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
