S21E12 · Resurrection of the Daleks Part 2

Archer’s momentary interaction with the booth—testing the dangling receiver—becomes a study in futility before he turns to the policemen for aid.

Before: Vandalized, with cut cords and stripped inner mechanisms, located in a state of disrepair before Archer’s arrival

After: Remains nonfunctional, its role as a communication tool permanently destroyed
