Have You Seen This Man? was a segmented collection of flash fiction spread across three webpages published on the Who is Doctor Who? website in 2005 by the BBC Web Team to coincide with the 2005 revival of Doctor Who. The overall narrative comprised lots of information being given about the Doctor's role in Earth's history. The narrative also included the images of the Ninth Doctor at Sumatra in 1880, with the Daniels family in 1912, and at the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, which had been previously seen in TV: Rose.

The flash fiction was contained in Have You Seen This Man? was collected on a webpage entitled "Contact Clive", which was a place for real world people to submit brief anecdotes of their encounters with the Doctor, which were officially released by the British Broadcasting Corporation. For obvious reasons, nothing inappropiate, defamatory, or fourth wall breaking was approved, thus maintaining the in-universe and consumer friendly nature of the Who is Doctor Who? website as a whole. Furthermore, as nothing in Have You Seen This Man? breaks any of our valid sources criteria, this collection of flash fiction is a valid source.

Notes

  • From the content seen on the website, this site is probably set prior to TV: Rose, although no explanation is given for the absence of the "Contact Clive" page.
  • In many ways, this short story is similar to PROSE: The Book of the War, both being a large collection of smaller narratives, or entries, that make up a larger narrative.

Continuity
