A factory was a place where items were manufactured.
History
The Hellcombe Factory was owned by Lord Hellcombe during World War I. It manufactured British Proto-Daleks. It was secretly run by the Daleks for the Dalek Project. (COMIC: The Dalek Project)
In 1979, Wildthyme Unlimited was a factory in England in which Iris Wildthyme manufactured Suitors for her company, Suitors, Inc.. The robots were designed to resemble either the Fourth or Third Doctor. (PROSE: Suitors, Inc.)
In the alternate Earth where Rose Tyler's father Pete was still alive, the Cybus Cybermen had cyber-factories by 2007 where they converted humans into Cybermen. (TV: The Age of Steel)
The Bane made Bubble Shock! in their London Bubble Shock! factory. This was part of their plan to convert all of the human race into Bane zombies. The factory was destroyed in the 2000s.[nb 1] (TV: Invasion of the Bane)
In an article on the Cybus Industries website that attempted to recruit new employees for Cybus Industries, potential employees were sorted into two categories, between the Trainee Scheme and Seniors Programme; the Trainee Scheme started its employees off on the factory floor and would mould them into the perfect worker. (PROSE: Our Family)
When trapped in the Dalek City in the 27th century, Bernice Summerfield noted that the lack of social infrastructure, such as houses or even social activity, made the settlement more akin to a factory than a city. (AUDIO: The Lights of Skaro)
Undated events
During the Last Great Time War, the Dalek Time Strategist's merging of realities caused the Davros Foundation factory to manufacture an infinity of Daleks. (AUDIO: Palindrome) Later in the conflict, a Dalek Fleet tried to claim the weapon factories at Villengard, only for the War Doctor to detonate a molecular fruit bomb, turning the factories into a banana grove. (COMIC: The Whole Thing's Bananas)
Footnotes
- ↑ No on screen date is given for the first two series of The Sarah Jane Adventures, outside of The Day of the Clown from the second series being set shortly after 9 October in an undisclosed year. While Donna Noble's present from the fourth series of Doctor Who is set around the same time as the first series of The Sarah Jane Adventures, and The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith from the second series of The Sarah Jane Adventures is explicitly described as being set a year after Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? from the first series, Doctor Who's fourth series is not consistently dated, with TV: The Fires of Pompeii, TV: The Waters of Mars, and AUDIO: SOS setting the present of the 13 regular episodes in 2008 (heavily implied by TV: The Star Beast and TV: The Giggle as well), and PROSE: Beautiful Chaos setting them in about April to June 2009.
