causes the enslavement of humanity and
then meets an invisible man on a planet named after garbage

The fledgling Doctor Who Club
voted this story “The Best Satire of the Evils of Institutional Racism of
1965” in their year end awards.
Members of the cast jokingly
called this story “The Bark” throughout production. The long winter
evenings just flew by.
The idea of revisiting an old
story with only a minor twist was taken from Terry Nation’s writing
career.
This story was written on one
of those new fangled electric typewriters.

"I was once reading a fan written
summary of the critical pros and cons of Story X when I was rather shocked
to see the "author" allege that there was a political message contained
within the script. He claimed that the moral of the piece was not to
mistreat the proles. "Don't be pathetically stupid" I called from the back
of the church when I had finally tracked the man down. I apologised to the
vicar and to the infant before continuing with my apposite diatribe. "I
found your attitude was beneath contempt back in 1988. Were you seriously
contesting that I should go out of my way to be even more pleasant to the
lower caste on the off-chance that some of the long haired weirdoes
amongst them will start a revolution and lock me in a secure kitchen? Are
you? Is that your socialist manifesto? If so then I sincerely hope your
new child won't be as subnormal as his father." Before I could go into
more detail I was bundled out of the church by some burly choirboys. I
feel I made my point. We can't have rumours that Story X is subnormalist
propaganda can we? That would never do."
