One of my favourite films as well Andrew! A super, sharpe image that says exactly what your brief was.

Thank you Fiona, Lewis and Paul, your comments are greatly appreciated. This year is the 40th anniversary of the film and the phone box has become a tourist attraction. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-65373183
