Footage

Footage was a type of visual media that could be captured on cameras.

History
During Operation Mannequin on 26 March 2005, (PROSE: The Doctor Was Involved in the Dummy Massacre, Operation Mannequin) many cameras stopped working, reducing the amount of footage captured; however, footage of the incursion did manage to circulate on the internet, so UNIT identified as much of the footage as they could, then placed "standard interference patterns" on any satellite retransmission of the footage and placed a bandwidth squeeze on any attempted downloads of the footage. (PROSE: Operation Mannequin) However, the Who is Doctor Who? website notified its readers that video footage had been offered to the site and would be published soon, (PROSE: Dummy Massacre) and by 2 April, it had been released. The webmaster cited its existence among the evidence of the attack that people were choosing to ignore. The webmaster also noted how most CCTV cameras failed to capture footage, suspecting that the Doctor himself had removed evidence. (PROSE: The Doctor Was Involved in the Dummy Massacre)

After a Slitheen craft crashed into the Thames on 6 March 2006, (TV: Aliens of London) pictures of "today's panic" began circulating. Mx posted on the website Who is Doctor Who?, sharing one such picture — seemingly taken by squidbaby23 — of the alien creature who piloted the ship. Mx also referred to this picture as "footage".
