Have You Seen This Man? (short story)

Have You Seen This Man? was a story exclusively published on the Who is Doctor Who? website in 2005 by the BBC Web Team to coincide with the 2005 revival of Doctor Who. The story depicted the Doctor's role in Earth's history, set before and after the events of Rose, through over a hundred pieces of spread across three webpages, written both by the BBC and the real world visitors of the Who is Doctor Who? tie-in website.

The majority of the flash fiction that built up Have You Seen This Man? was collected on a webpage entitled "Contact Clive", which was a place for real world people to submit brief, fictional of their encounters with the Doctor, which were officially released by the British Broadcasting Corporation. The BBC evidently moderated the content, as nothing inappropriate, defamatory, or fourth wall breaking was approved, thus maintaining the in-universe and consumer friendly nature of the Who is Doctor Who? website as a whole.

Removed entries
As the BBC moderated submissions, no obvious spam or offensive material was accepted; however, some submissions that were initially accepted were removed without explanation in later updates.
 * Lee from Croydon's entry recollected how he had met the Doctor circa Christmas 2004, where the Doctor laughed at the future destruction of Big Ben. This may have been removed due to its similarity — or a reference to — the then-unreleased Aliens of London.
 * Samuel Preston's entry told the story of how his grandfather, a soldier in World War II, had shot a Nazi during the liberation of Auschwitz, and that this Nazi had been the Doctor. This was evidently intended as a reference to the Ninth Doctor's leather jacket resembling that of a German naval officer — the implication being that he was shot in a case of mistaken identity, likely while attempting to help concentration camp survivors himself, though this was not explained in the text itself. The entry was presumably removed for its perceived trivialisation of the Holocaust, and/or its somewhat ambiguous connection of the Doctor with Nazism.
