Close, it is a police call box (Bill And Ted used a 'phone booth - I'm told it was a sort of tribute).

As to being scared off after one episode: Back in the late 1960's there was a Scottish guy who had the same problem. But after a year or two he tried again and stuck with it. He is now the producer and head writer of the show. Stephen Spielberg offered him two million to leave the show and write for him, but he turned it down. He says that the only reason he became a TV writer in the first place was because he hoped to write for Doctor Who, and now he "runs the candy store" he is not giving it up for Spielberg.

So just think, if you had not given up watching after one episode, Spielberg might have been chasing you with a cheque for two million!
