A policeman was patrolling the Coal Hill area through Totter's Lane on a foggy night in November 1963. As he passed a junkyard, he shone his torch on its wooden gate, which read "I.M. Foreman - Scrap Merchant - Totters Lane". He paused for a moment, then moved on to continue his patrol. He did not notice nor bother about the odd humming sound coming from the TARDIS that was hidden inside. (TV: An Unearthly Child) He had stopped by before and had noticed the box, and had found it curious. He returned the next day to find it gone. (PROSE: Doctor Who and an Unearthly Child)
Behind the scenes
- The policeman has the honour of being first character to appear on-screen in Doctor Who.
- Reg Cranfield played the policeman seen during the opening credits of "The Pilot Episode" and "An Unearthly Child" according to the BBC Production Paperwork 1 and 2.
- Some sources credit the role in the Pilot Episode to Fred Rawlings 1, 2, 3 and 4. Either these sources are mistaken or Rawlings played the part in one of the unused versions and the BBC Production Paperwork is mistaken.
