First Entry was a 2021 P.R.O.B.E. Case Files short film released by BBV Productions. It was created to be exclusive to the P.R.O.B.E. Case Files - Volume 1 DVD, taking place before most of the Case Files earlier released and being presented as "Episode 1". It would eventually be offered as an individual download on the BBV website in 2022.

Bridging the gap between When to Die and the Case Files, the short featured Hazel Burrows reprising her role as Liz and took place immediately before her wedding to Patricia Haggard.

Publisher's summary[]

Liz Shaw hands over the responsibility of P.R.O.B.E. Director duties to Giles, as he records his first Case File entry. Reflecting on the history of P.R.O.B.E. & looking to the future…

Plot[]

Giles begin recording the first of his video diaries as P.R.O.B.E. Director, but quickly cuts himself off to look to Liz, who is standing in the doorway, ready to leave. He complains that he doesn't know what to say, not having any recent case to report on; Liz suggests he start at the beginning, and explain P.R.O.B.E.'s history and its areas of expertise for the benefit of Sir Andrew, before leaving to attend to her wedding preparations.

Giles uneasily explains that he has just made P.R.O.B.E. director.

Worldbuilding[]

  • Liz reminds Giles that he needs to record the video diaries because "Sir Andrew" wants to know "what P.R.O.B.E. gets up to".
  • She notes that video diaries weren't "how she and Patsy did things"; the "original Case Files" were written reports.

Notes[]

  • This story contains footage from all five of the original feature-length P.R.O.B.E. films, presented as in-universe archival footage. No credits are given to the actors who thus "reappear" as their characters from those films.
