The BBC newsreader was a female human who worked for BBC from 2008 and until at least 2013. She announced that Bubble Shock! was a nation-wide hit in Great Britain (TV: Invasion of the Bane) and that the Tenth Doctor, Martha Jones and Jack Harkness were dangerous criminals. (TV: The Sound of Drums)
When Miss Kizlet had control of the world's Wi-Fi network, she hacked into the newsreader's mind, and spoke to the Doctor through her, as a demonstration of her ability. She told him that thousands of Spoonheads were released on Earth and that Kizlet's "client", the Great Intelligence, "love[d] and care[d] for humanity" by feeding on a diet of "free range" minds. (TV: The Bells of Saint John)
