Panorama Chemicals (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Green Death, Lucifer Rising) or Global Chemicals (TV: The Green Death) was a company which developed a new technique for refining oil in the 1970s. After receiving approval from the Ministry of Ecology, an oil refinery headed by Director Stevens was opened in Llanfairfach, Wales. Secretly, not only was Global Chemicals dumping lethal toxic waste into the abandoned coal mine, creating giant maggots, but Stevens had been taken over by the meglomaniacal supercomputer BOSS. (TV: The Green Death, PROSE: Doctor Who and the Green Death)
Global Chemicals had friends in the Cabinet of the United Kingdom; in order to intimidate the Brigadier into backing down, Stevens called up the Minister of Ecology, who forbade any investigation of the company. When the Brigadier protested, the Prime Minister backed up Global Chemicals as well due to his close ties with the company.
The Third Doctor and UNIT investigated the company's activities and the refinery was shut down. (TV: The Green Death)
Behind the scenes
After an objection from a real company by that name, Global Chemicals was renamed "Panorama Chemicals" for the novelisation.
