The Observer

The Observer was a British newspaper. Penny Carter, science correspondent for the paper, had suspicions about the Adipose Industries weight-loss programme and went to the Adipose Industries headquarters to search through the company records. However, she was discovered and held prisoner by Miss Foster. (TV: Partners in Crime)

By 2022, The Observer was considered to hold negative opinions about transgender people, as noted by Cleo Proctor. (AUDIO: SOS)
