Evidence
Evidence was a group of information that could prove or disprove a claim or accusatio.
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
By early 2006, the police refused to properly look at the evidence — dismissing it as not being real — that the webmaster of Who is Doctor Who? tried to use to prove his innocence (PROSE: Rose sighting confirmed [+]Loading...["Rose sighting confirmed (short story)"]) in Rose Tyler's disappearance. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], etc.)
After the defeat of the Slitheen family on 7 March 2006, Mickey Smith (TV: World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"]) wrote on his website the morning after, confessing that he had "been in two minds" recently, finding himself doubting the evidence, facts, and secrets he uncovered, upon rewatching it, although he was reassured by the emails he received, even though he sometimes deleted them, knowing vaguely what was in them. He also asserted that he did not fake evidence. (PROSE: Hoax This! [+]Loading...["Hoax This! (short story)"])
A week later, in an interview he conducted with Henry Van Statten, after Mickey asked him if there'd be any leftover evidence that'd prevent people from simply forgetting, Van Statten believed any such evidence would be cleared up and stored away from the public, then closely examined.

In 2007, Victor Kennedy disclosed to LINDA that the Torchwood files were "strangely lacking" regarding Rose Tyler, companion of the Tenth Doctor, determining that the evidence had been corrupted by the Bad Wolf virus. He acquired a number of photographs of Rose as first-hand evidence. (TV: Love & Monsters [+]Loading...["Love & Monsters (TV story)"])
Alternate universes[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the Unbound Universe, UNIT, not having the Doctor as their scientific advisor in the 1980s, was forced to resort to more destructive means to repel the various alien invasions. This left them with no evidence to prove the attacks to their superiors. (AUDIO: Sympathy for the Devil)
