Doctor Who: Flux marketing campaign[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor Who Twitter account was involved with the promotion of Doctor Who: Flux, which was designed so that the audience were involved with the narrative of the arrival of the Flux:

On 2,[3] 3,[4] 4,[5] 5,[6] 6,[7] 7,[8] and 8 October, the account posted "interruptions" - short bursts of distorted footage of the Thirteenth Doctor sending a message.[9] Within the same day, the account posted what appeared to be a transcript of the Doctor saying "can you hear me?"[10] Very quickly after, all of the Doctor Who social media accounts shut down (barring Tumblr, though that account had been inactive since January same year).[11] In the evening of 9 October, all of the social media accounts returned, posting promo images of the new series as well as giving new details about it.[12] Among the content was the upload of The Flux is Coming..., a minisode that had premiered on television earlier that very same day,[13] evidently showing that the "interruptions" where part of the full minisode, in which the Doctor sent out a distress call warning of the arrival of the Flux, indirectly to the viewers.[14]
