-'''''The Sun Makers''''' was the fourth serial of [[season 15]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It took on a political note with the [[writer]] [[Robert Holmes]] outing his dislike of the [[Inland Revenue]]'s [[tax]]ation. For this reason, much of its plot involved subtle jokes in reference to this.

-It was usually against [[British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC]] policy to allow [[script editor]]s to write for their own show, but Holmes had received special permission to script a limited number of serials per year. ''The Sun Makers'' was the fifth story Holmes wrote during his tenure, however this was the last story he wrote while he was script editor as Holmes had decided to step down from the position by this point.

''The Sun Makers'' was the fifth story Holmes wrote during his tenure, however this was the last story he wrote while he was script editor, as Holmes had decided to step down from the position by this point. He was succeeded by [[Anthony Read]].
 Holmes was inspired by {{w|Adrian Berry, 4th Viscount Camrose|Adrian Berry}}'s novel, ''The Iron Sun: Crossing The Universe Through Black Holes'', that proposed the idea of man-made [[sun|stars]]. Holmes also wanted to couple the idea with [[Britain]]'s former colonial ruling. After [[Graham Williams]] decided to keep [[K9 Mark I|K9]] on as a series regular, Holmes, as script editor, was one of the first to know and was easily able to integrate the character into the story.

 === Part one ===
 [[Cordo]], a [[D-Grade]] foundry worker from [[Megropolis One]] on [[Pluto]], is informed by a [[Nurse (The Sun Makers)|nurse]] via an oval-shaped hatch in a corridor that his father has died. The nurse tells Cordo to report to [[Gatherer]] [[Hade]]'s office to pay the money for the [[Golden Death]] his father received, then slams the hatch shut. Cordo does as instructed, but he finds the fee has been increased from 80 to 117 [[talmar]]s, which he cannot pay. Hade tells Cordo that he will have to increase his workload, despite the fact Cordo is already working twenty-one hours a day.

 The Doctor is playing [[chess]] with K9. They land on Pluto, and the Doctor exits with Leela. He is amazed the planet has a breathable atmosphere and huge cities. They spot Cordo preparing to [[Suicide|jump from the roof]]. The Doctor distracts him long enough for Leela to pull him away from the edge.

 Meanwhile, Cordo announces he is headed for the [[Undercity, Megropolis One|undercity]], where he has heard tax evaders and outlaws dwell. Leela and the Doctor accompany him. As they walk, Cordo tells the Doctor that the planet has six suns, who judges them to be [[in-station fusion satellite]]s. Soon they find themselves surrounded by a band of humans, and Leela pulls her [[knife]]. The Doctor warns her not to take any aggressive action.
-On a screen, Hade and Marn watch as K9 heads out of the TARDIS, pondering as to what he is. The Doctor and Leela are taken deeper into the undercity. Cordo tells [[Mandrel (The Sun Makers)|Mandrel]] of his failure to meet Hade's demands and requests to join his group. Mandrel tells him he must earn his keep through theft from the upper levels and killing. After Leela inadvertently demonstrates her skills with a knife, Mandrel notes that both she and the Doctor may be of use. Hade and Marn are still watching K9 as he makes his way through the city.

 === Part three ===
-Leela instructs K9 to hide and he does so. As the guards get out of the vehicle, Leela has K9 shoot them down, and their guns are taken by Bisham and Cordo. The three get aboard the vehicle and Leela takes the wheel, but when she inadvertently puts the vehicle into reverse, Bisham tells her perhaps he'd better drive! With Bisham driving, the vehicle charges at the barricade where, believing Leela, Cordo and Bisham  to be dead, the guards have already begun taking it down, and the three pass through with ease, taking the guards by surprise. However, a gunfight ensues, during which Leela is hit by a shot to the head and falls from the vehicle. Unable to help her with the guards still firing, Cordo and Bisham have no choice but to drive on.

 In the undercity, a hot iron is being prepared by [[Goudry]] with which to torture the Doctor so that he reveals what happened between him and Hade. Mandrel believes some form of deal was brokered between the two, and he takes the iron and readies himself to burn the Doctor. Bisham appears on the balcony above and threatens Mandrel into halting the process. The Doctor then asks them where Leela is, realising that she is not with them.

([[INFO]]: ''The Sun Makers'') Hade's remark that giving the Doctor a thousand talmars "added a touch of verisimilitude" echoes Pooh-Bah's famous line describing an element he has added to a cover story as "merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative."
+* On the DVD commentary, [[Pennant Roberts]] says that the positions in the chess match between the Doctor and K9 were based on the endgame of a match between [[Bobby Fischer]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Kasparov Garry Kasparov]. However, Kasparov never played Fischer.
 == Story notes ==
-* The story originated from recent problems Robert Holmes was experiencing with UK tax authorities, and contains many references to the British tax system. These include the [[Inner Retinue]] (cf. [[Inland Revenue]]) and "the P45 return route" (cf. the {{w|P45 (tax)|P45}} form). ([[INFO]]: ''The Sun Makers'')

 * The name of the Collector's home planet, [[Usurius]], is a pun on the term "usury", which describes unusually high or unfair interest rates.
 * Hade's epithets for the Collector gradually go from flattering ("Your Highest", "Your Sublimity", "Your Eminence" and so on) to insulting ("Your Corpulence" and "Your Grossness").
 * This story marks the last appearance of Leela's darker outfit. For the next two serials — her last — she would continue to wear the lighter (and more revealing) one.
-* The ''Radio Times'' programme listing for part one was accompanied by a black and white photograph of the Doctor in one of the tunnels of the Megropolis underworld, with the accompanying caption "A new adventure for ''Dr. Who'' when he lands on a distant planet: 6.5 p.m."

 * Unusually, [[Paddy Kingsland]] did the [[special sounds]] on this episode. He was also responsible for special sounds on the radio adaptation of ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]''. Hence, as [[Louise Jameson]] pointed out in the DVD commentary, there was some crossover of sounds. Most notably, the sound of the Doctor fiddling with the combination lock in part four is the same as the sound of the ''Guide'' being consulted in the original ''Hitchhiker's'' radio drama.
-* At one point in scripting, the scene in which Leela is stunned when entering the large safe was to have been her death scene. However, the production team decided against killing Leela, in part because to have Tom Baker's Doctor shown grieving midway through a story would have been inappropriate both for the story and Baker's version of the character.

-* When the story was first screened by ABC in Australia in 1979, a small edit was made to part one by the Australian Film Censorship Board (now the Australian Classification Board) to remove the "Stuff the Company!" insult delivered by Mandrel in response to Cordo's rather nervous "Praise the Company!" Strangely, a repeat transmission of the story in 1979 was in uncut form — i.e. with Mandrel's line intact — as well as subsequent screenings in 1982 and the late 1980s.

+* The Collector was originally conceived as a large, corpulent figure, which is why Hade calls him things like "Your Immensity".
+* [[Pennant Roberts]] had originally intended that the giant credit card — referred to as a consumcard — should resemble the current Barclaycard design, and so used the same coloured horizontal stripes of blue, white and orange. This was vetoed by [[Graham Williams]], who said the BBC would be giving Barclaycard free publicity, and so green bands were added to disguise the prop.
+* Marn was originally a man.
+* [[Pennant Roberts]] encouraged the inclusion of more female characters. He decided to make Marn a woman, and excised a male member of the Others named Rashif, giving his dialogue to Veet.
+* Leela and the Doctor are identified as "terrorists." In real life, Leela's character was partially based on Palestinian revolutionary Leila Khaled.
+* [[Robert Holmes]] was aware of [[Tom Baker]] and [[Louise Jameson]]'s difficult relationship, so he structured the script to keep them apart for most of the story.
+* Pluto was chosen as the story's setting because the Greek prefix “pluto-” referred to wealth and riches.
+* [[Graham Williams]] was reluctant to present such a barbed commentary in the context of a family programme, and was wary that the story might be accused of leftist indoctrination. He particularly disliked the reference to the Collector's race as the Userers, which simply adopted an old-fashioned term for a moneylender. A reluctant [[Robert Holmes]] briefly changed their name to the Saurians, before a compromise was reached with Usurians.
+* The production time had difficulty finding a building to portray Megropolis One. After they couldn't find anywhere suitable in [[London]], production assistant [[Leon Arnold]] recommended the WD & HO Wills Tobacco Factory in Hartcliffe, Bristol.
+* [[Graham Williams]] was under pressure from his superiors to control the show's budget and wasn't keen on travelling to [[Bristol]] for just a handful of scenes, and suggested that they should instead be performed in the studio, via [[CSO|chroma key]]. However, [[Pennant Roberts]] discovered that the Wills Tobacco Factory offered other locations which could replace studio sets, such as a very long tunnel, for scenes in the P45 return route, and this enabled him to justify the cost of the trip.
+* Filming in [[Bristol]] was hit by mist, forcing [[Pennant Roberts]] to delay filming on the roof of the Tobacco Factory and focus on other scenes.
+* An extra playing one of the Megro guards was taken ill during location filming and Ron Rogers, who was an employee of the Tobacco Factory, agreed to take his place. However, Rogers' scene was ultimately cut at the editing stage.
+* [[Robert Holmes]] evisioned the Collector as an expansive figure in the mould of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Greenstreet Sydney Greenstreet]. The five-feet tall [[Henry Woolf]] was cast instead.
+* Already uneasy with Leela's confinement in a straitjacket, [[Louise Jameson]] was aghast when she was left in her restraints while the rest of the team went on break.
+* Visual effects designer AJ “Mitch” Mitchell was so disappointed with the rushed effect of the Collector's liquidation that he was driven to quit the BBC to work as a freelancer.
