She is able to draw images that come to life, however these drawing also make people vanish.

While the disgraced former BBC newsreader is not visibly seen; Huw Edwards’ voice can be heard throughout; commentating news coverage about the London 2012 Olympic games.

On August 2, BBC has now taken this episode down from BBC iPlayer. Edward’s voice will likely be replaced with an actor’s voice, as this news coverage happens multiple times during the episode.

Update: A BBC spokesperson has now informed TV Zone that “An episode of Doctor Who has been temporarily removed from BBC iPlayer to be re-dubbed.”

When commenting on Huw Edward’s situation overall, a spokesperson for the BBC said:

“The BBC is shocked to hear the details which have emerged in court today. There can be no place for such abhorrent behaviour and our thoughts are with all those affected.”
