Highly recommend listening to That Mitchell and Webb Sound episodes if you can find them, particularly the earlier ones as a lot of the later sketches were incorporated into the That Mitchell and Webb Look TV show. This is one of my favourites, it’s just so simple and so silly.
I knew about doctor codes, but not Inspector Sands. I wonder would I remember if it actually happened though. :)
Inspector Sands is a code phrase used by public transport authorities in the United Kingdom, including Network Rail and London Underground, to alert staff to a fire alarm without needing to evacuate the station. The exact wording depends on the station and the nature of the incident. For example: “Would Inspector Sands, please report to the operations room immediately.” or “Would Inspector Sands, please report to Platform 2.”
