Beginning in [[ | Beginning in [[2008 (releases)|2008]], the '''Case File''' format has been used across a number of series to communicate information about the characters and species of the [[Doctor Who universe]]. | ||
== | == Precursors == | ||
=== Alien Fact File === | |||
{{main|Alien Fact File}} | |||
The [[Alien Fact File]]s were included on the [[Doctor Who website]] when it launched in [[1998 (releases)|1998]]. Unlike later iterations on the concept, these Files constituted static webpages rather than webcasts, and there was no indication given of whom was presenting the information to the reader. The files were designed to be printed as cards and used in a card game. | |||
=== ''Tardisode'' === | |||
{{main|Tardisode}} | |||
After the revival of television ''[[Doctor Who]]'' in [[2005 (releases)|2005]], the [[BBC]] experimented with formats of webcasts accompanying each episode. The first of these experiments were the ''[[Tardisode]]'' webcasts, short stories which served as prequels to the episodes of [[series 2 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 2]]. However, these failed to catch on, and no webcasts were produced to accompany [[series 3 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 3]]. | |||
The | === Mr Smith's data updates === | ||
{| | {{main|Mr Smith's data updates}} | ||
When ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' began airing in [[2007 (releases)|2007]], the episodes were accompanied by webcasts called [[Mr Smith's data updates]]. Each episode was less than a minute long, recapping the events of the accompanying television stories. They were narrated by [[Alexander Armstrong]] as [[Mr Smith]]. These continued through [[series 1 (SJA)|series 1]] and [[series 2 (SJA)|2]]. | |||
=== ''Torchwood'' === | |||
The ''[[Torchwood Mission Game]]'' included multiple webcasts and tied in with [[series 2 (Torchwood)|series 2]] in early [[2008 (releases)|2008]], and episodes of the motion comic ''[[Web of Lies (webcast)|Web of Lies]]'' were released alongside [[series 4 (Torchwood)|series 4]] in [[2011 (releases)|2011]]. However, despite tying into the events on television, these focused on independent stories, and they did not use the "File" format. | |||
! | |||
== Monster Files == | |||
=== ''Captain Jack's Monster Files'' === | |||
{{main|Captain Jack's Monster Files}} | |||
Following the failure of the ''[[Tardisode]]s'', the next attempt, released to accompany [[series 4 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 4]], were ''[[Captain Jack's Monster Files]]''. | |||
Each webcast included Captain Jack's survival tips. | |||
=== ''River Song's Monster Files'' === | |||
{{main|River Song's Monster Files}} | |||
Three "Monster Files" narrated by [[Alex Kingston]] as [[River Song]] were released in [[May (releases)|May]] [[2010 (releases)|2010]] to accompany [[series 5 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 5]]. ''River Song's Monster Files'' used a format identical to ''Captain Jack's Monster Files'', with the survival tips renamed "Useful Spoilers", and citing [[River Song's diary]] rather than [[Torchwood Institute|Torchwood]]'s files. | |||

Webcasts were released to accompany each episode in [[series 6 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 6]] and [[series 7 (Doctor Who 2005)|7]], but they returned to a format similar to the previous ''[[Tardisode]]s'': full-cast short [[prequel]]s. | |||

== ''TARDIS Index Files'' == | |||
{{main|TARDIS Index Files}} | |||
On [[23 November (releases)|23 November]] [[2013 (releases)|2013]], a short webcast called ''[[Zygon Stats (webcast)|Zygon Stats]]'' was published on the [[BBC America]] YouTube channel to accompany the release of ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' on that day. The video description called it a "full report on the Zygon from the TARDIS's Index Files". Three years later, this became the basis of a new series of Files. | |||
Unlike previous renditions of the format, these were not narrated but merely presented on the [[TARDIS scanner]], with ambient TARDIS noises as the only audio. Additionally, they aired in [[2016 (releases)|2016]] between ''Doctor Who'' [[series 9 (Doctor Who 2005)]] and [[series 10 (Doctor Who 2005)|10]] rather than alongside related episodes. | |||
