Reg Cranfield played the policeman seen during the opening credits of An Unearthly Child, replacing Fred Rawlings from the Pilot Episode which was the only casting change, (DWMS Summer 1994, TCH 1) despite the fact that Cranfield is listed as playing the part in the BBC production paperwork for both versions of the first Doctor Who television story. Either these sources are mistaken or Rawlings played the part in one of the unused versions.
