Charlie Craggs, Lois Chimimba and Holly Quin-Ankrah are Cleo, Abby and Shawna 鈥� three best friends and university dropouts who make a truly terrible conspiracy podcast together. Their favourite conspiracy? Is this one random blue box actually an alien spaceship? Obviously not. Right鈥�?
Cleo Proctor got kicked out at 16 when she came out as trans to her Mum. Now she鈥檚 living with her brother, saving up for surgery and working front of house at the Queen Vic Theatre. A class clown who never takes anything seriously, Cleo鈥檚 big heart gets her in no end of trouble.
Abby McPhail is a full-time carer for her Mum in Glasgow. She wants to do something amazing and leave her mark on the world. But her Mum needs her, and she can鈥檛 leave home. Brilliant, driven, ambitious and intelligent, Abby is the research powerhouse behind the girls鈥� investigations.
Shawna Thompson is the only woman on her Computing course at college in Sheffield. Group skeptic, Shawna doesn鈥檛 believe in aliens and magic. But she does the podcast because Abby asked her to. Fiercely protective, loyal, and endlessly exasperated, Shawna tries to keep Cleo and Abby out of trouble.
Brand new audio drama from Juno Dawson, with a debut performance from trans activist Charlie Craggs. Full of beloved names and characters from Doctor Who 鈥� including Jodie Whittaker, Jemma Redgrave, Ingrid Oliver, and Anjli Mohindra 鈥� and a host of amazing comedy talent including Doon Mackichan, Jacob Hawley, Ken Cheng, Alasdair Beckett-King, Kieran Hodgson and Ambika Mod.

The 成人论坛 Sounds IDENT comes in.
成人论坛 SOUNDS IDENT
成人论坛 Sounds: Music, Radio, Podcasts
We hear a rushing, deep synthy musical sound, followed by a sharp glitch and then the Doctor.
Throughout the Doctor鈥檚 message, her voice is glitching and muffled. Sometimes it sounds like it鈥檚 coming through thick glass, it slows and slurs, it trills and repeats, sporadically turning into perfect clarity. The whole time a hissing, rising and falling musical static runs underneath and over her voice, sounding like it鈥檚 almost alive.
DOCTOR
Can you hear me? Planet Earth? Is this getting through? Something is coming. Something is coming for you.聽
My name is The Doctor. You might not remember me, but I remember you. I need you to listen to me. You're in danger. Big, serious, end of the world type danger. And normally I'd drop right in to help you with that, but something's stopping me from getting through.聽
I don't know much yet, I'm still figuring it out. But you're forgetting me. You're forgetting us. Me, and my friends, and everyone who's ever helped me. It's like they're disappearing. No, worse than that. They're being erased from existence. Redacted from reality.聽
And if you're listening to this and you know who I am then it's coming for you, too.聽
So please, listen.聽
I know it's weird. I know it's scary. I know it seems impossible. But sometimes you have to step up and do the weird, scary, impossible thing because someone has to.聽
Remember me. Remember The Doctor.
There鈥檚 a sharp glitch as the Doctor鈥檚 message cuts off.
Soft piano music comes in, a simple, slow, pulsing melody.
