Joey Oxford

Joey Oxford was an investigative reporter for The Daily Sketch who was doing a piece about runaway pregnant schoolgirls: "Teenage Runaway Schoolgirls. The New 'Cathy Come Homes'."

To that end, Oxford approached Susan Foreman, who was then staying in a YWCA, at an espresso bar. Offering to buy her a coffee, Oxford expressed sympathy and claimed that he was interested in telling the true story of Susan's time away between November 1963 and July 1964. Some time after Susan told him about the Tribe of Gum in 100,000 BC, Oxford was getting up to leave when Susan revealed that she had artefacts in her room that she had smuggled from the different times she had visited. Oxford, who believed that he was in for "a spot of the old slap and tickle", was presented with what he believed to be "a duffel bag of knick-knacks from the British Museum". When asked for a response, Oxford suggested that Susan should put the objects back or chuck them in the river. This annoyed Susan so that she threw him out, making a noise which got the attention of the warden; since residents were not supposed to have visitors, Susan was asked to leave the hostel.

Later, the now former reporter Joey Oxford was serving six months for impersonating a gynaecologist when he was interviewed by a researcher regarding Susan Foreman. (AUDIO: Whatever Happened to Susan Foreman?)
