- You may be looking for the Gallifrey audio story.
Square One was the second story in the audio anthology, Silenced, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by John Dorney and featured Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart, Ingrid Oliver as Petronella Osgood, James Joyce as Josh Carter, Warren Brown as Sam Bishop and Tracy Wiles as Jacqui McGee.
Publisher's summary
It's business as usual at UNIT, and thankfully, Kate Stewart has no immediate threats to concern her. Or so she believes.
But when Sam Bishop returns from leave, he notices things aren't quite as they seem. Soon he and Osgood are on the trail of an elusive enemy.
Meanwhile, Kenneth LeBlanc and his controversial political movement gather momentum, and one UNIT team member isn't quite themselves...
Plot
Still on leave, Sam drops by UNIT HQ and is surprised to find that Josh is watching and agreeing with Kenneth LeBlanc, a politician who he believes is incompetent, and goes to drink his tea elsewhere. Josh watches as the television programme is interrupted by a Silent telling people to trust and believe in LeBlanc.
Jacqui is exasperated by Kate having called off observation of Helena Faversham's house and reassigned Shindi elsewhere after forgetting about the Silents. She decides to investigate by herself and Kate tells her to be careful, which both of them find strange. Kate goes with Sam to see Osgood and asks her why they did not investigate Miss Faversham's house, but Osgood does not have an answer and remembers events differently. Sam drives Osgood to the house and notices evidence of breaking and entering; the house has been completely cleaned out, but he finds a UNIT-issue cartridge case.
Jacqui calls David, a private detective, and pays him to find out about the people who were visiting Miss Faversham's house. She learns that they were mainly bloggers and marketing executives.
Osgood and Sam try to call Josh but, when he fails to pick up, they instead go to Kate's house and tell her that they believe that they raided Miss Faversham's house and then had their memories wiped; Kate is sceptical but agrees to get a hold of the CCTV to get them off of her back. The CCTV proves their story and they realise that looking away from the image of a Silent makes them forget about it.
Josh encounters a Silent in his flat and is told that his conditioning has been a success. He then visits LeBlanc and offers to help him become Prime Minister. LeBlanc's popularity soars and he calls for the Prime Minister to resign, which Jacqui says is ridiculous. Kate updates Jacqui and learns about the marketing personnel who visited the house.
