Very nice diorama, even if it’s a bit crowded. I am wondering what’s with the
blue “telephone booth” in the centre?

That is the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space) from the TV program
‘Doctor Who’.
Recently revived by the BBC it’s an excellent time travel TV series – the TARDIS
is the time machine - it is disguised as a police telephone box from the 1950’s,
it’s camouflage broke when he was visiting that era and has never been fixed. If
you’re in the US the new shows are coming to the Sci-Fi channel in March. If
you’re in Europe I’m sure a local channel will pick it up soon, as it’s great.
Why is it in the diorama? Well back in the 70’s, when I watched Dr. Who as a
kid, a lot of the plots were directly inspired by Lovecraftian stories. Lots of
creepy monsters and aliens with tentacles and evil intent. I stuck him on there
as homage to these shows. Apologies as really only the British and Sci-fi fans
would have clue what it is!
Cheers,
Mark
