21st century[[edit] | [edit source]]
On 6 March 2006, an alien ship crashed into the Thames. Blue Peter presenter Matt Baker did a feature on how to make an alien ship cake. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"]) Following the feature, a BBC internal memo questioned whether it was appropriate to promote the creation of "space confectionary" for children, due to the worsening international situation as well as stating that it could be seen as pandering to incoming Prime Minister Joseph Green — the former Chairman of the Parliamentary Commission on the Monitoring of Sugar Standards in Exported Confectionery.

In the 2000s[nb 2], Maria Jackson watched an episode in which the presenters Gethin Jones and Konnie Huq promoted the Bane's Bubble Shock! soft drink. (TV: Invasion of the Bane [+]Loading...["Invasion of the Bane (TV story)"])
During the time the series Surrender, Earthlings! aired on the BBC, Blue Peter did a feature on how to make a Xyz from toilet-roll holders, Blu-Tak and two boiled eggs. (PROSE: Not So Much a Programme, More a Way of Life [+]Loading...["Not So Much a Programme, More a Way of Life (short story)"])

Blue Peter was broadcast from within the BBC Television Centre and presented by John Noakes, Peter Purves and Lesley Judd. On one occasion, after two "dark grey" Dalek props from Doctor Who were stolen, the show aired an appeal for viewers to help track them down, with an intervention from a real Dalek of the same model as the stolen units. It explained that the missing Daleks were members of the Earth Observation Delegation, encouraging viewers to assist the "humanoid police" in their inquiries. It added that if the abductees are returned unharmed to their people, the Daleks would generously assume that their theft was not a hostile act but simply an "excess of hospitality". Otherwise, however, the Dalek Supreme Council would initiate "Search and Find Procedure", which was likely to result in the extermination of the culprits; its threatening tone prompted the hosts to assure it that they were unvinvolved in the theft.

Footnotes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- ↑ See UNIT dating controversy.
- ↑ No on screen date is given for the first two series of The Sarah Jane Adventures, outside of The Day of the Clown from the second series being set shortly after 9 October in an undisclosed year. While Donna Noble's present from the fourth series of Doctor Who is set around the same time as the first series of The Sarah Jane Adventures, and The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith from the second series of The Sarah Jane Adventures is explicitly described as being set a year after Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? from the first series, Doctor Who's fourth series is not consistently dated, with TV: The Fires of Pompeii, TV: The Waters of Mars, and AUDIO: SOS setting the present of the 13 regular episodes in 2008, and PROSE: Beautiful Chaos setting them in about April to June 2009.
