Policeman (An Unearthly Child)

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)

Behind the Scenes
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
