Here's the heathland. After 50 years, it's not possible to find exact locations, so I just wanted to get a sense of the place (and had apparently already done so back in 2016, but had forgotten 😅; clearly part of the uncanny nature of the place). More photos of Zygons locations flic.kr/s/aHsjLS9ZDc

Happy to report that that front door near me looks rather splendid in the evening too.

I remembered that there’s also this front door on a road that’s even closer to where I live. Points deducted for actual resemblance to a police box; points added (I guess 😁) for the sign to explain the effect they were going for.

That’s great! Just a shame they didn’t make the letterbox a wee bit more discreet!

Absolutely! The owners were lovely as well, closing the doors for me so that I could get my shots.
It was slightly too wide when viewed head-on, but, you know, that’s being unnecessarily picky!

On the topic of police box doors, I was going to recommend folk go to see this splendid example in Worthing, but I’ve just found out that it’s no more 😔. It was the entrance to a real ale pub that had to move premises in 2023. I’m glad I got a photographic record of it before it dematerialised!

I choose to think that the homeowner has to operate a control on the console before they can make use of the spyhole.

Him indoors is a Dr Who fan, so this could’ve been an option for us, but I didn’t know it was possible! Still, we went for a door that was as close to TARDIS blue as the manufacturer made.

The Doctor Who fans must’ve moved in fairly recently. Here’s the same door three years ago.

On the other side of the street is one that looks like this. It’s a shame they’re not next-door neighbours.

I mean, the TARDIS is stuck as a police box after its subsequent journey back in time...
And what's that saying... "Correlation is precisely the same thing as causation"... That's it, isn't it?
