Clare Pope was a telemarketing agent for Adipose Industries.
While investigating the company the Tenth Doctor, who was posing as a health and safety inspector, sat down in her cubicle, asking her questions while she worked. She helped him by printing out a list of all customers (which Donna Noble, who had also asked another employee for a copy, took, requiring her to print out another copy).
She also flirted with the Doctor, and gave him her telephone number, wanting to be the "safety" to his "health". He claimed he couldn't go along with her advances as that "contravenes paragraph 5, sub-section C".
The next day, Pope said goodbye to her mate as everyone packed up to leave the office at the end of the business day. (TV: Partners in Crime [+]Loading...["Partners in Crime (TV story)"])
While researching Adipose Industries for their podcast, The Blue Box Files discovered that no one from the company was ever seen again, though there was a suggestion that Adipose staff may have been "sunning it up in Panama" after being caught "selling dud pills".
