Trapped! (TV series)

In 2009, as Alice Carter attempted to contact her father Jack Harkness, her son Steven watched a TV series. The series in question featured a man dressed in a costume and make-up describing a game on the show. A younger man in casual clothing and a red headband was also featured on the show immediately after. Steven described it as "boring" and said he wanted to see "aliens".

Alice and Steven left their house before Agent Johnson's raid on the home. As her troops raided the property, the programme was still playing on the television. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Three)
