BOBBIES on the beat at Gateshead MetroCentre today became the flying squad, thanks to Britain's best-loved Time Lord, Dr Who.

The good doctor presented the police with their latest bit of hi-tec equipment...their very own Tardis.

Stunned shoppers looked on in amazement as the fifth Dr Who — actor Peter Davison — landed his time-travelling police box outside the new [[wikipedia:C&A|C and A store]].

Even one of his oldest adversaries, a Dalek, turned up to see him hand the keys over to the head of Whickham Police, Supt Bob Swift.

The 13 ft high box wit; permanent feature at the Metro- Centre and will be used as a police information centre.

A police spokesman explained: "It will be manned during the day by civilians, who will be in permanent radio contact with officers. They can got there within seconds, if necessary.

"The public can use the Tardis to get a message to the police station and to get help or advice on anything to do with police work."
