I was rewatching a Classic Doctor Who story and remembered that I was going to point out the use of a prop to Apollo mission fans.
[I noticed this years ago and it's possible that I've posted it before on this forum or a previous one - sorry if it's a repeat.]
In the story "The Pirate Planet", the Doctor enters a control room - and what do we see as one of the control panels he walks past?

You can only see the left-hand side of the panel in this particular screen shot, but I think you can see this looks very similar to the Apollo Command Module main display console:

It's
so similar that I wonder whether they reused a prop that was meant to match the real-life Apollo spacecraft - perhaps in their coverage of the real missions or a space drama show.
