Wanderers in the 4th Dimension: A Journey Through Doctor Who

 

Wanderers in the 4th Dimension: Paradise Towers

This week we cover story #145, Paradise Towers.  The Doctor and Mel visit the famed Paradise Towers luxury resort community for some much-needed R&R -- but something is terribly wrong here.  The people are divided between the tribal Kangs, the suburban Rezzies, and the militaristic Caretakers, and mysterious disappearances are commonplace.  What dark secret lurks beneath these accursed towers?

QotW: If you could leave graffiti for the Doctor to find, what message would you leave?

So Here are the Things.../Listener Mailbag
