Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: The Sun Makers





Doctor Who: 
The Sun Makers 
By Robert Holmes

“You blood-sucking leech! You won't stop until you own the entire galaxy, will you?  Don't you think commercial imperialism is as bad as military conquest?”

The Doctor and Leela land on the planet, well it was when this story was produced, Pluto.  There they stop Cordo from committing suicide.  He was all depressed that he works two work cycles and was told 85 credits would be enough for his fathers death but now it is 115 credits and he can’t work another work cycle to pay it off. 

It appears the workers of Pluto are over taxed and over worked by the Collector and his people in the Company.  They are all for making a profit and do not care how they achieve it.  The Doctor, Leela and Cordo make their way to the under city where they meet up with those who have dropped out of the society above. It appears that they want to start a revolution and take the government down and to get rid of all the taxes.  So its up to The Doctor and Leela to help over throw the ruling party and get the people united in the cause.
