TARDIS Cam was a webcam feature, part of the TARDIS Cam series, on the Doctor Who website with a constant feed of pictures and video of the TARDIS travelling throughout the universe. It told a sort of narrative of the Doctor's adventures. It used examples of TARDIS landings from the series, the TARDIS Cam shorts and Introduction to the Night bringing the latter firmly into the DWU.
It launched on 23 November 2001 for the 38th anniversary with the aim of keeping the Doctor's adventures in the TARDIS going.[2][3][4][5]
