Filmed in Canada which might explain the strange phone box. Edit: a London Routemaster in Manchester is also very unlikely, but apparently it did happen very briefly in the mid-1960s when an LT-liveried bus - possibly RM1414 - was used on trial. -- Last edit: 2010-12-13 20:07:52

Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-12-14 11:35	The phone box looks like a replica based vaguely on the K1 box: Link to "en.wikipedia.org" ...which came before the familiar designs (K2 and K6). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_telephone_box
