Andy Moore appeared credited as 'Policeman' on Episode 3703 (2nd April 2004) a month or so prior to being credited as 'PC Swirling'. Should we consider this appearance as being PC Swirling or should the policeman in Episode 3703 be classed as a separate character?

I'm slightly leaning toward classing it as the same character but I'm unsure due to cases such as actors Jonny McPherson who was credited as 'Dr Jonathan Boam' in 2008, 'Doctor' in 2011 and 2013 and 'Dr Cavanagh' from 2014. If we were to class the Policeman as PC Swirling, then it should be consistent in similar situations across the wiki which raises the questions as to who should 'Doctor' be. The Jonny McPherson isn't a great example to chose as Dr Cavanagh is a GP where as the unnamed Doctor and Dr Jonathan Boam where doctors in the hospital but Jonny McPherson was the best example I could find fairly quickly.

Opinions?
