At one point, Mercury was used as a waste dump, but its orbit was accidentally destabilised and it plunged into the sun. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[To the Slaughter]]'') The [[Eighth Doctor]] once claimed that Mercury had "very little atmosphere" after dumping a vampire on the planet.

When asked about her holiday experiences, [[Donna Noble]] listed Mercury among the locations which she had visited. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Widow's Curse]]'') | [[Human]]s set up the [[Sunwatcher]] on Mercury to monitor the [[Sun]]. Powered by three solar pylons, it was a domed base that moved on tracks with the orbit of Mercury so that the base was always located at the optimum temperature. Three [[month]]s after it was established, the base was staffed by five scientists. They encountered a native [[Mercurial (Mercury)|Mercurial]] who tried to warn the scientists of three "giants" that had attacked his people. At the same time, the [[Second Doctor]] arrived with [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and [[Zoe Heriot]] and, with his help, the Mercurials learned that the "giants" were the solar pylons.
