Welcome back, friends! I've identified all of the mobile phones used in every episode of Doctor Who! This post looks at the New Year's Day Special "Revolution of the Daleks". Do feel free to rummage in the archives.
Wooooweeee! What an episode! Only a couple of shots of mobiles in this one - but worth sticking around for.
Graham is rocking his iPhone - which we last saw in the S11 episode "Resolution".
In the S12 adventure "Spyfall", Graham has a sleek black Android - which he promptly smashes.
So he's gone back to his iPhone. Great prop continuity!
Jack Robertson's phone is interesting. We only get a couple of brief shots of the back of it.
That's a very distinctive camera lens layout. But is it enough to go on?
ZOOM! ENHANCE!
Ah! That makes things better. It's the Samsung Galaxy S10 (or one of its variants) - thanks to @gaijintendo for helping with the spot.
So why is this so interesting? Well, the S10 was released in early 2019. Why is this high-powered, tech-obsessed CEO rocking such an old phone?
Because it's the same phone he had in Arachnids in the UK!
I wasn't able to identify the anonymous black rectangle the last time I saw it, so I'm pleased to have solved that little mystery. And, once again, great prop continuity (propinuity?) from the team.
What a great start to the year!
