Torchwood House (tie-in website)
Torchwood House was a website launched in April 2006 by the BBC to coincide with series two of the revived series of Doctor Who, specifically Tooth and Claw. The website, along with all the tie-in websites launched post-2005, was built by Sequence.
The website contained a mix of narrative and non-narrative fiction, all told from an in-universe perspective, as if you were reading the very pages on an in-universe Torchwood House website, though was set some time after the events of Tooth and Claw in the 21st century.
An image from the website was featured in the 2012 book A History of the Universe in 100 Objects.
The website was no longer hosted by the BBC by 2013, and this Wiki advises caution visiting the unarchived website.
