Hello, British people or anglophiles....or those living in the UK....or just those that watch a lot of BBC shows,
What's the go-to fake phone number on TV dramas? I know that in the US, it's any number that's 555-XXXX. What do British shows do?
I need to put a number in the demented'verse because one of my British characters actually has a phone - but I don't want to accidentally put in a REAL number. So, I need something that looks believably like a regular number, but is fake.
Thanks!

But what do shows do when they don't want to accidentally give out someone's mobile number? Do they do like Americans and write it 079 5555 9375 or something? Or do they just never write anything that lists or says a number out loud?
Hope that helps.
It DOES give me a number that isn't anyone's number though and was set up for TV, so yes, it helps tremendously, thanks!
