Phone panel on New Series prop

[zbigniev hamson]

I've only just noticed that it appears to say "Officer & Cars" instead of "OfficerS & Cars" on quite a lot of publicity shots. Is it like this for all the props/series? Anyone know why? I mean... it's a bit of a big mistake and doesn't even make grammatical sense.

The wording for the new series phone panel was copied off an incorrect phone panel first used on the refurbished Newbury prop in the Peter Davison era.

I want one that says "bad wolf bad wolf bad wolf bad wolf..."
as in turn left.

I have been meaning to do a New Series model for some time, just keep getting sidetracked into doing classic models for people (I've just started a McCoy era YJ), but you've now spurred me on.  My first NST model build will be a Bad Wolf variant!

When I eventually get my NST built, I'll have a correct sign in new series fonts.  I do so like things to be correct!

Correct in the sense that you want the traditional wording, rather than the incorrect wording of the current signage?

<nitpick>Well strictly speaking its not grammatically wrong... but its a bit hard to imagine one officer running back and forthing collecting loads of cars if you use the phone </nitpick>

Exactly.  Hartnell wording, new series layout.
