U.N.I.T. (tie-in website): Difference between revisions

* While large portions of the website indirectly reference alien incidents, and by extension, confims that they undeniably exist, the ''UNIT Press Briefings'' somewhat contradict this where the alien incidents, both pre- and post-''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', are covered up. Though the final ''UNIT Press Briefing'', ''[[Alien Life (short story)|Alien Life]]'', shows UNIT explicitly confiming the existence of alien life.

** Similarly, the short story ''[[UNIT History: Fighting the unknown (short story)|UNIT History: Fighting the unknown]]'' acknowledges the UK's 1970s Mars missions, however, the website also directly ties into ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'', which entirely ignores the 1970s Mars missions.

* The stories on the website attributes dates to both the classic and revival era UNIT stories; while the dates given to classic stories align with a common dating practise of setting them on their respective broadcast dates, the dates given to the revival era stories are more arbitary and inconsistent. Some are said to occur on their broadcast dates, such as the date given for [[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'' being [[26 March]] – the real world broadcast date – it gives seemingly random dates for other stories, such as [[28 June]] [[2006]] for [[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'' in [[PROSE]]: ''[[Operation London (short story)|Operation London]]'', it is neither the real world broadcast date of the story (which was [[16 April (releases)|16 April]]) or is consistent with the "one year later" setting of ''Aliens of London'' (as it therefore should be around 26 March 2006, logically) or even consistent with the date given for [[TV]]: ''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]'' in [[PROSE]]: ''[[Number Ten Pays Tribute to UNIT (short story)|Number Ten Pays Tribute to UNIT]]'', which was sometime prior to [[26 May]], setting the ''second part'' of the Slitheen duology about a ''month before'' the first part.

** A ''possible'' explanation, though speculative, is inferred from [[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose Tyler (short story)|Rose Tyler]]'' — [[Major]] [[Jenny Maguire]], upon learning of [[Mickey Smith]]'s ownership of [[whoisdoctorwho.co.uk]], suggests planting misinformation on the website, and while this is seemingly denied by [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Annie Frederick]], the insertion of misinformation could've been agreed to offsite.

* The characters [[Annie Frederick]], [[M Osborne]], and [[C Jones]] seem to be either be homages and/or self-inserts of [[Annie Frederick (publicist)|Annie Frederick]], [[Michelle Osborn]], and [[Claire Jones]], all employees of the [[BBC]] in 2005.
