Distress Signal, Disease Location (Potential Spoilers!) Tranquility, Earth, England, London Synopsis Future Britain is bankrupt, its corporate owners facing financial ruin. Fortunately, the Universal Monetary Fund, and its slimy representative Sil, are willing to give its President a multi-billion credit bail-out... but terms and conditions apply, and Sil's proposed austerity measures go far beyond mere benefit cuts. Responding to a distress call, the Doctor and his companion Flip land in a London whose pacified population has been driven largely underground. But the horrors down there in the dark are as nothing to the horrors that await them at ConCorp HQ, where a young biochemist in Sil's employ is working on a permanent solution to the nation's terminal unprofitability.

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: Cortex Fire I suprisingly actually... liked this one? As possibly the #1 Sil hater I really thought that another story with him in would be the last thing I wanted to hear but then it actually turned out to be fairly good. Of course, Sil was the worst part of it but this is probably the most tolerable his character has been. He does genuine feel like a (slightly) competent villain compared to his other outings. The actual story is an odd sequel to Mindwarp where the daughter of a character from that serial seeks revenge. Thank goodness for the TARDIS wiki because without it that reveal would have been completely meaningless to me (it still pretty much is regardless). I liked the idea of a future Britain taken over by corporations that put drugs in the water supply, it sounds like a crackpot conspiracy when you type it out but in the actual story it was quite an interesting thing to explore. Overall, I'm genuinely surprised how much I tolerated this but I'd die happy if I never saw (or heard) Sil again. Next Story: The Brood of Erys Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
