The Fourth Doctor acquired some needed mercury in 1931 Chicago, unknowingly defeating the Master's plans by doing so. (PROSE: The Duke of Dominoes)
The Eighth Doctor visited a podule orbiting Jupiter in search of mercury for his TARDIS' fluid links. (PROSE: To the Slaughter)
The planet Vulcan had mercury swamps on its surface. (TV: The Power of the Daleks) Skaro had geysers of mercury. The Dalek Emperor attempted to kill Zeg near one of them. (COMIC: Duel of the Daleks) The Acteon Galaxy had asteroids made of mercury. (AUDIO: Neverland)
The Eighth Doctor visited Rontan 9 during the Last Great Time War in search of mercury to repair his TARDIS' fluid links. (PROSE: Natural Regression)
