0221 - Ordinary Phone

A phone rings on a coffee table. In a voice over, Hoskins mentions that it looks like an ordinary phone. A woman picks up the handset. Hoskins tells us that we only need to dial 1471 to find out who was calling. The woman does so, listening to the number spoken by the automated voice. We cut to the woman walking into the living room again to use the phone. Hoskins tells us that if we don't want our phone number left with the receiver, we can dial 1471 before their number. The woman begins to talk with someone on the other end of the call. Hoskins says that we already have a phone which can do all of this. External voice over: "From November 22nd call return will available free on the BT network. Call [number]".
