The Circles of Power (unproduced TV story): Difference between revisions

A new communications satellite, designed by Sir Walter Llewellyn, is launched to link [[computer]]s across [[Europe]] and [[America]]. However, it has been sabotaged by a radical scientist named Tilverton, who believes his inventions are being suppressed by commercial concerns. This precipitates an escalating number of computer-related incidents across the globe — including the release of robotic "sensorspheres" which can induce amnesia in any person not wearing a special pendant. The pendant actually denotes membership in the Circles of Powers, a secret cabal led by Llewellyn and which has made a pawn of Tilverton. The [[Third Doctor]] discovers that Llewellyn plans to use the global chaos to ignite a [[World War III|third World War]], and stops the evacuation of Government officials which would have triggered this stage of the plan. An orbital [[missile]] destroys the satellite, and when the Doctor inverts the sensorspheres' programming, the robots wipe the minds of Llewellyn and his co-conspirators.
