There be spoilers about un-released stories here.
Run back to the forums if you're scared.

Please see the original thread Forum:5 Things to look for in Series 5 and the summary thread Forum:5 things to look for: Overall.

This was originally proposed in Michael Downey's original thread on "5 things to look for".

  • The Eleventh Hour: A red telephone box was prominently displayed on the green of Leadworth.
  • The Beast Below: An identical red telephone box was seen in the background of the London market on Starship UK.
  • Victory of the Daleks: No red phonebox. (If one had appeared, this would certainly be significant, because it would have been anachronistic.) However, of the 5 phones in the War Room, the red one was in the center, one of only two that ever rang or was used (the other being green). On the other hand, it was the green one, not the red, that people were twice shown (and heard) talking on in the foreground.
  • The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone: ?In the window of the museum, there is a red diagonal line. Could this be the phone box?

I might broaden this to RED overall. I noticed a lot of red in the series. At first i thought it was just some kind of art direction and maybe not intentional or symbolic. Red even became a plot point when the Doctor tells Amy to be sure to use red ink for the note. Who uses red ink? 173.57.144.238 15:57, July 27, 2010 (UTC)


red symbolises danger. that's probably the reason for alot of red. Lu-igi board
