Doctor Who Video Explorer
Talk0a real world point of view
The Doctor Who Video Explorer was an umbrella title used by the Doctor Who official website to offer webcast documentaries related to series 5. It debuted in the last week of March 2010. Its structure was similar to the Adventure Calendar feature; content was progressively unlocked as the debut of an episode on BBC One approached. Unlike the Adventure Calendar, its content was devoted exclusively to explaining how various personnel impacted the production of the opening sequence of The Eleventh Hour. The Video Explorer was created by digital design company magneticNorth (mN).
