BBC Radio 4 Extra - Open the Box

Nostalgic look at the impact of the red phone box and lengths taken to keep them working.

Sara Parker's nostalgic look at the impact of the humble red phone box and the lengths taken to keep them working. From 2000. 

Set against the relentless 24-hour story of the telephone box's life, from late-night revellers calling for cabs to the clean-up teams that scour out the box ready for another day, 

Sara Parker meets those for whom the telephone box is far more than somewhere to place a call. 

Producer: Simon Elmes 

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in January 2000.
