In 2008, Angela helped the Fifth Doctor investigate an invasion of Earth planned by the Tinghus. She first encountered the Doctor when he crashed his TARDIS into her greenhouse just after her boyfriend John was infected by a Cuddlesome which had attacked him with a virus. She was just drunk enough to accept the Doctor's description of himself as a Time Lord from another planet. When the Doctor returned (several minutes later in his personal timeline) in 2011, John had split up with her. The Doctor once again smashed her greenhouse to bits. (AUDIO: Cuddlesome)
