U.N.I.T. (tie-in website)

On 23 November 2004, the BBC launched the U.N.I.T. website to coincide with the 2005 series of Doctor Who, one of several websites created at that time. While the website seems to have been bought by the BBC in 2004, the earliest archives of content on the site is from late April of 2005.

The website contained a mix of narrative and non-narrative prose fiction, all told from an in-universe perspective, as if you were reading the very pages on the in-universe website itself. The website prominently featured many references to the original era of Doctor Who. Currently, non-narrative information is treated as an invalid source on this Wiki, and is grouped here, while the narrative information are given separate pages.

The page also states that if you are injured or otherwise affected in ways not listed, then one can reach a local UNIT office, and one must fill in either a Code Red Form A1010103 or Code Green Form B106798, then a local area officer will provide advice; if one experiences temporal incursion beyond the listed, then one must fill in Special Form Blue Delta-12. It is noted that other forms are available, and that those forms must be counter-signed by two field officers.

It is also stated that if one doesn't complete one of the former two forms fully, changes can be made to an individual's statutory rights, though it does not apply to the third mentioned form if one marks the box entitled "No Complications", as it means the individual marking it accepts Special Powers Act (UNIT) paragraph 3-12 and may be issued a D-Notice.

Finally, it is written that UNIT field stations are staffed 24 hours a day, are qualified in space medicine, and have officers and cars on standby to respond to any call.
