so you know how police boxes used to be everywhere in london and then they just sort of stopped being a thing
well in 1996 they tried to revive the idea and make a load of ‘high tech’ police boxes, except the idea never took off and so now there’s just one police box left which is just there to attract whovian tourists

he was actually talking about this lonely tardis at earls court station
