United we stand, 2m apart (webcast)
United we stand, 2m apart was a webcast featuring the Thirteenth Doctor speaking directly to the camera, released on the official BBC Twitter account; the Doctor was used as a sort of ambassador for the BBC, with her relaying information to the viewers as to the guidelines to be followed to handle the COVID-19 crisis in the real world.
As it consequently breaks the fourth wall (unlike the earlier, similar Message from the Doctor, which was designed so that the Doctor's dialogue was applicable to the real-world issues but did not necessarily speak to the 2020 viewer directly), the webcast is not at present considered a valid source by this Wiki.
Summary
