Doctor Who

I'm sure I'm not the only UK Unfictioner to have seen the new Doctor Who on Saturday.

However, you guys all went to the website featured as part of the plotline, http://www.whoisdoctorwho.co.uk/ - didn't you?

Now, wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity for an ARG? The guy running the site is dead, the whole thing smacks of conspiracy, and there's even a huge budget TV production to tie in with it.

I've had a look at the site and I'm pretty sure it's just a tribute site which will provide a bit more immersion for TV watchers with news after each episode. But couldn't it have been so much more?

Sigh. Wasted opportunities, eh.

Other "in game" sites are http://www.unit.org.uk/index.shtml .
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Passwords bison and buffalo (buffalo was given prominently in show).


Also http://www.geocomtex.net/ from the dalek episode.

If you go to the geocomtex site, there is a comment on the support page

I've got a brand new RH-390 S12. The pins aren't properly set.
Whoops! Our mistake. There was a transposition when the manual was printed. The correct sequence is:
-... .- -.. .-- --- .-.. ..-.
The morse translates into badwolf, which is the codename of the swat team in dalek, and the graffiti sprayed on the tardis win world war iii.

www.badwolf.org.uk and badwolf.org are also registered by the bbc but not in use yet.

Badwolf .net and .com are registered to ollieoxenfreeSPLATbadwolf.com through a bulk registering service, which is probably not related, but funny anyway

What's the Doctor's override code for the UNIT website?

All I can get to is some kind of missile launch sequence.
/me is confused

The doc's code is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
buffalo
which gets you into the missile thing, in the episode the doctor used the code to call an airstrike on his own location to stop an alien invasion. The other code gets you into the site proper which is presumably where anything is hinted at or hidden.

any one else notice the not so subtle political message on the GEOCOMTEX site (www.geocomtex.net)?
on the support site there is a question:
Quote:
Q: I'm trying to get the Discotron-3 to flash in the sequence MED BIL EOTV
A: It just doesn't flash in that sequence. I'm sorry.


and also the WTFLD generator.

(for those that didnt notice, if you reverse the sequence you get "VOTE LIB DEM", for those that arent british (or just dont care), the Lib Dems (liberal democrats) are the third place party in british politics)

also, any thoughts to possible meanings on this string of numbers?

Quote:
Q: I've given my parents a TVR-312 and they can't get to grips with the multi-region coding.
A: A common query, and one we shouldn't answer - but boy, we get asked it a lot, and you should see they guys' faces fall when they've got to go through it.

You just need to tap in the following code: [SETUP] [SETUP] Then "Menu" then: 384.5544308664
(underlining added)

I just finished watching todays episode.

WOO! Simon Pegg guest staring.

I am guessing when Who is the Doctor website updates again it will be an interview with Adam.

The next episode looks good - I mean who doesn't like a good time travel/changing the past episode.

And on the badwolf site, at the bottom of the disclaimer page is "Rose - Are you there? Are you getting this? You've got the point, haven't you? Rose...?"

Anyone try playing the audio clip from Bad Wolf site backwards? It definitely sounds like backmasking...

I copied the sound on the home page to MP3, and reversed it.
Reversed makes less sense.

Forwards, it sounds like a song with intentional noise on top.

I've also got a zipped link to the wav http://www.unfiction.com/~sapagoo/badwolf.zip

That reveresed one sounds horribly familiar. It was either in London during the blitz, the victorian episdoe or the one with the nucear power sattion (yep, I don't read names!). One of those though.

I wonder if anyone has theories of who/what badwolf is...

someone on another forum i am on have heard it might be Adam...he has knowledge of the future and the darleks so it might be a good guess.

I wonder about Davros. Seeing as the trailer for next week mentions the god of all the daleks, and davros made the daleks.
