A 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 continue his patrol. He did not notice or bother about the odd humming sound coming from inside. (DW: An Unearthly Child)

- The policeman has the honor of being first character to appear on-screen in Doctor Who.
