El número 07700 900461 pudo ser visto repetidamente durante la emisión
del último episodio en la BBC. Al menos 2.500 personas llamaron, para
encontrarse con que era un número ficticio. Y ha habido protestas.

Ojo con la reseña del Daily Mail, que al final tiene espoilers:

Bueno, ahora que lo pienso, copipego aquí la parte sin spoilers, y
pongo el link al final:

As the Time Lord he moves between dimensions with ease - but that
didn't stop Dr Who fans from trying to track him down.

In the build-up to the finale of the fourth series, shown on Saturday
last week, millions of fans were surprised to see his mobile telephone
number appear on screen.

Dr Who's personal number featured several times as the digits 07700
900461 in the penultimate episode.
Dr Who

The Doctor's private mobile number appeared on screen during the final
episode

More than 2,500 die-hard fans - in a frenzy of anticipation over the
finale's outcome - dialled it before the programme aired in an attempt
to contact their hero.

One fan complained: 'They showed that number so many times, as if they
were asking for it to be called.'

But while his sidekicks Martha Jones, Sarah Jane Smith and the
Torchwood team were connected, fans were left disappointed.

TV industry watchdog Ofcom revealed that it was merely a special
number reserved for television dramas.

There was no charge for the error as the number is not connected.

A spokesman for Ofcom said: 'It wouldn't have cost anything to call
these numbers as they are not real.

'If someone did call it they would hear either a dead dial tone or
number unavailable. There are a series of phone numbers we assign to
producers for TV series.'

One fan complained to the BBC's website: 'Grrr - I phoned the Doctor's
phone number but there was just an annoying network message.

'What's the point in showing a phone number if you're not gonna use
it?!'

A spokesman for the BBC said: 'Sorry - the number, and almost any
number you'll ever see in a TV drama or hear in a radio drama, is
fake.

'It's part of a range of numbers reserved by Ofcom .

'In fact if you ever see 07700 followed by a 9 you can be pretty
certain it's a fake number for drama purposes only.'

The Saturday night finale was watched by 9.8 million viewers at its
peak and made up 47 per cent of the total audience share.
