The Policeman was patrolling the Coal Hill area carrying a torch and was seen on Totter's Lane on a foggy night or pre-dawn morning. As he passed the junkyard, he shone his torch on its wooden gate, which read "I.M. Foreman - Scrap Merchant - Totters Lane". He paused for a moment, then quickly moved on to finish his patrol. He didn't notice the odd humming sound coming from inside. (DW: The Pilot Episode, An Unearthly Child)
