The 10-part series will follow three university drop-outs, Cleo, Shawna and Abby, who run their own conspiracy podcast \u2018The Blue Box Files.\u2019 The trio find themselves wrapped up in their own blue box mystery: everyone who has met the Doctor is disappearing, being forgotten.<\/p>\n
Bringing together characters and storylines from all over the Whoniverse, the first episode is filled to the brim with Easter eggs, references and exciting cameos.<\/p>\n
Read on for a full list of all the fun references to Whostory<\/em> in Doctor Who: Redacted episode 1.<\/p> The first Blue Box Files episode we hear focuses on the events of Partners in Crime\u00a0(2008). This Tenth Doctor adventure saw the Doctor and Donna Noble tackle Adipose Industries, a diet pill company that turned people\u2019s fat into baby aliens called Adipose.<\/p>\n Cleo, Abby and Shawna discuss the events of the alien invasion and interview Penny Carter, a journalist who investigated the adipose pills at the time. During Partners in Crime, Penny\u2019s efforts to uncover the mystery are thwarted by the Doctor and Donna on multiple occasions and she leaves the story exclaiming that she will report the time-travelling duo for \u2018madness\u2019.<\/p>\n While being interviewed, Penny explains that she saw aliens and a man in a blue box but the details after that are a little sketchy. This is the first character we meet who can no longer remember our favourite Time Lord at all. She just remembers one thing \u2013 he was called the Doctor.<\/p>\n While the Blue Box Files trio are retelling the day the adipose invaded, Cleo mentions a \u2018drunk woman\u2019 from the Powell Estate who was \u2018always going on about it\u2019. Famously home to Rose Tyler, Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith, the Powell Estate was the centre of many Who stories during 2005 and 2006. From Autons and Slitheen to Pilot Fish and Cybermen, the TARDIS was a regular visitor at the tower block of flats. Are the residents of the Powell Estate about to forget all their memories of the Doctor and the TARDIS?<\/p>\n After meeting Penny, we hear Cleo mention she accidentally deleted a previous interview, referring to the interviewee as \u2018that Yeti person\u2019. As the podcast team are covering Earth sightings of the Doctor, it\u2019s safe to say that this is a reference to the robot Yeti, who appeared in Second Doctor stories The Abominable Snowmen\u00a0and\u00a0The Web of Fear.<\/p>\n The Yeti terrorised the Himalayas in 1935, created by the Great Intelligence as servants and an army. Some were reactivated and brought to London over 30 years later to haunt the London Underground railway system. Sightings of a Yeti and the TARDIS in London must have led our Blue Box Files girls on an investigation into these historic classic Who events.<\/p>\n Later in the episode, Abby overhears a news bulletin playing in a caf\u00e9; an appeal for information regarding the disappearance of Thirteenth Doctor companions Graham O\u2019Brian and Ryan Sinclair. The pair travelled with the Doctor from 2018 to early 2021 but were left safely in Sheffield at the end of New Year\u2019s special\u00a0Revolution of the Daleks.<\/p>\n There are numerous occasions where characters forget the Doctor throughout this episode, as well as the mysterious disappearance of two of her most recent companions. Are we seeing the redaction of the Doctor in different stages?<\/p>\n The 2006 Tenth Doctor story, Love and Monsters,\u00a0featured a group of people whose lives had been touched by the Doctor and were determined to find out more about the mysterious Time Lord. They formed LINDA; The London Investigation \u2018N\u2019 Detective Agency.<\/p>\n The gang weren\u2019t too dissimilar to the Blue Box Files girls in their passion for discovering more about alien invasions and TARDIS sightings. Unfortunately, all but one member of LINDA were absorbed by the aptly named Absorbaloff, who joined their club in a quest to find and absorb the Doctor. Shawna wonders if Penny is \u2018another blue box fruitcake from LINDA\u2019, the legend of previous Doctor fanatics passed on.<\/p>\n The end of the episode features an appearance from Rani Chandra. Rani fought aliens alongside 70\u2019s Doctor Who companion Sarah-Jane Smith in\u00a0The Sarah Jane Adventures\u00a0and met the Doctor on multiple occasions. Rani warns Cleo that the Doctor is killing them, leaving us on a huge cliffhanger.<\/p>\n Is she referring to the fact that everyone who knows the Doctor is being redacted from history; that the very act of knowing the Doctor is killing them? The cast list for Redacted features other friends of the Doctor such as Madame Vastra, Kate Stewart and Osgood \u2013 and with the Blue Box Files focussing on TARDIS sightings throughout history, we\u2019re bound to hear from many a ghost from the Doctor\u2019s past in episodes to come\u2026<\/p>\n The first episode of Doctor Who: Redacted is available on BBC Sounds. <\/strong>Doctor Who will return to BBC One and\u00a0BBC iPlayer<\/a>\u00a0later this year.\u00a0<\/strong>All 13 series of Doctor Who are available to watch now on Prime Video \u2013 sign up for a\u00a0Prime Video free trial<\/a>. <\/strong>For more news, interviews and features, check out our dedicated\u00a0Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0page or our full\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
