The BBC Box has travelled the equivalent of two laps of the earth in just over a year.

On the container's global odyssey, it has carried whisky, cat food and bathroom scales among other things.

Its adventures are not yet over. It is destined for Africa, where it will be refitted as a soup kitchen.

The BBC's Declan Curry saw the Box off on its travels. He met up with it again at Television Centre.
