Non-BBC websites Patterned after the fictional websites set up by the BBC, some fans have set up their own websites tying into the series. These sites are not featured or referred to in the programme and are not sanctioned by the BBC. These include: [edit] Flydale North http://www.flydale-north.org.uk/ - the website for Flydale North, the fictional constituency of MP Harriet Jones from Aliens of London and World War Three, and who is Prime Minister in The Christmas Invasion. [edit] Cybus Corporation http://www.cybuscorporation.com/ - the website for the Cybus Corporation. The corporation plays a major role in the 2006 series' two-part story featuring the Cybermen. The password for the "restricted files" area is "delete" (the old password was "nemesis"). The home page currently has a notice stating that upgrading and updating to Cybus Corporation.2 is in progress. The old site can still be accessed. [edit] Powell Estate Tenants and Residents Association http://www.powellestate.org.uk/ - the website for the Powell Estate Tenants and Residents Association. Rose Tyler, her mother Jackie and Mickey live on the Powell Estate and several scenes and episodes have been set there. The site includes photos of a BBC film crew at work filming Doctor Who, however in the fiction of the site, they are said to be filming scenes for a new BBC series entitled Time War starring Paul McGann (who played the Eighth Doctor), set in the "fictional Brandon Estate" (the real location of the Powell Estate). [edit] Vote Saxon http://www.votesaxon.org.uk/ - the website based on the campaign for electing Mr. Saxon as Prime Minister. It also contains a link to LazLabs, linked with upcoming episode "The Lazarus Experiment". The domain appears to be registered to a San Francisco brand protection company. http://www.votesaxon.co.nr/ - Another website based on the campaign for electing Mr. Saxon as Prime Minister. This one contains documents apparently removed and under investigation by UNIT. Or a fan site, the BBC do not typically use Nauru free redirection to a site, but rather use British domains directly. [edit] LazLabs http://www.lazlabs.co.uk - The official website for LazLabs, the laboratory of Professor Lazarus, as featured in the episode The Lazarus Experiment, starring Mark Gatiss as Professor Lazarus. The website advertises the press conference at which Lazarus will reveal his "greatest achievement". It is quoted to say that "this event is now oversubscribed, however for those unable to attend in person there will be full media coverage of the proceedings on BBC1, Saturday 05.05.07 from 7pm." (This date reflects the broadcast date and time of the episode). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_tie-in_websites#Series_Three
