emily cook oversees all of the official content created for the lockdown event, and she has said several tims on twitter that these original stories are the only part of the event that are licensed / endorsed by the bbc.

the bbc themelves tried to do their own watchalongs off te back of the lockdown event but they were unsuccessful and so started creatig their own content to release alongside the lockdown. these are not part of the main lockdown event but are still valid, due to being released by the bbc, and as some stories like the Shadow Passes has connections to the lockdown event stories they can be seen as associated releases.
