Series 1 (Redacted)

Series 1 of Doctor Who: Redacted was an audio series produced by BBC Studios. It was released by BBC Sounds as a 10-part weekly series and introduced an ensemble cast: Charlie Craggs as Cleo Proctor, Lois Chimimba as Abby McPhail and Holly Quin-Ankrah as Shawna Thompson.
Juno Dawson acted as the lead writer for Redacted, which also featured guest writers.
== Synopsis ==
Charlie Craggs, Lois Chimimba and Holly Quin-Ankrah are Cleo, Abby and Shawna – 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…?
Cleo Proctor got kicked out at 16 when she came out as trans to her Mum. Now she’s 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’s 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’t leave home. Brilliant, driven, ambitious and intelligent, Abby is the research powerhouse behind the girls’ investigations.
Shawna Thompson is the only woman on her Computing course at college in Sheffield. Group skeptic, Shawna doesn’t 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 – including Jodie Whittaker, Jemma Redgrave, Ingrid Oliver, and Anjili Mohindra – and a host of amazing comedy talent including Doon Mackichan, Jacob Hawley, Ken Cheng, Alasdair Beckett-King, Kieran Hodgson and Ambika Mod.

== Behind the scenes ==
* On 25 April 2022, an artist, Rosie (@rosiedoesartsometimes), made fanart of the three main characters of Doctor Who: Redacted, Cleo, Abby and Shawna, and released it on social media.https://www.instagram.com/p/CcvQm0XM5bM/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= On 29 April 2022, this particular fanart was acknowledged by the official Doctor Who accounts, therefore making it valid for coverage on this Wiki.Rosie's art reposted by Doctor Who Due to being acknowledged, this was the only visual reference we have of these characters until 8 May, when the official BBC Sounds account tweeted an animated image showing an illustration of all three characters credited to @kxmolo.https://twitter.com/BBCSounds/status/1523262687823630338 Another image in the same style, showing Cleo and the Thirteenth Doctor, was posted by the BBC Sounds account on July 19.https://twitter.com/BBCSounds/status/1538587679083962373
* To date, Doctor Who: Redacted holds the distinction of being the only spin-off from the parent show to have been covered in detail for Doctor Who: The Roleplaying Game, with an outline for the season (presented as a single, ten-episode story) as well as stat blocks for Abby, Shawna and Cleo included in the Thirteenth Doctor Sourcebook. Previously, the only spin-off characters to be featured in a Doctor Who: The Roleplaying Game sourcebook were those who had crossed over into the parent program, such as Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones.
