Penny Carter was a journalist, working as science correspondent for The Observer. She attended a press conference at Adipose Industries. She was very sceptical about the diet pill, and decided to investigate it a bit further. She stayed at Adipose Industries till after closing time, hidden in a toilet stall. She was discovered by Miss Foster, thus saving Donna who was hiding in a stall near by.
Miss Foster took Penny to an office, and her security men tied her into a chair. She was later released by the Tenth Doctor and warned to get out, but stays behind to collect files and ends up getting tied up again. When Miss Foster sets the Inducer, she tells Penny to mark the date, happy birthday. After the March of the Adipose, Penny escapes and then tells the Doctor and Donna Noble that she will report them for madness. (DW: Partners in Crime)
