The Adventure Calendar installment was presented differently than the others. Focusing on the [[Weeping Angels]], the webisode was presented under the title ''[[A Ghost Story for Christmas]]'' (with no reference made to the ''Monster Files'' and no footage of Captain Jack although the character narrates the story) and featured a newly shot storyline in which a young woman has her own encounter with the Weeping Angels. | The Adventure Calendar installment was presented differently than the others.

It has not yet been announced whether any future editions of ''Captain Jack's Monster Files'' will be produced in 2010 with the advent of a new ''Doctor Who'' production team (not to mention the events of [[TW]]: ''[[Children of Earth]]''). As of late April 2010 no such productions have appeared. | It has not yet been announced whether any future editions of ''Captain Jack's Monster Files'' will be produced in 2010 with the advent of a new ''Doctor Who'' production team (not to mention the events of [[TW]]: ''[[Children of Earth]]''). As of late April 2010 no such productions have appeared. Whilst no new videos were made for the first five episodes, ''The Monster Files'' returned with ''[[The Vampires of Venice]]'', featuring a voiceover by [[Alex Kingston]] as [[River Song]] reading from her diary. | ||
The [[canon]]icity of the ''Monster Files'' is uncertain, especially given that some installments feature monsters the Doctor encountered away from Earth or in the far future, out of Torchwood's reach. In the case of others, it's possible that Torchwood might have obtained details about, for example, the [[Hath]] from [[Martha Jones]] and the [[Trickster's Brigade]] from [[Sarah Jane Smith]], or indeed virtually any of the creatures from an unchronicled encounter with the Doctor. The context of the feature also implies that Harkness himself might have first-hand knowledge of many of these creatures from his own travels and adventures. | The [[canon]]icity of the ''Monster Files'' is uncertain, especially given that some installments feature monsters the Doctor encountered away from Earth or in the far future, out of Torchwood's reach.
