2775: Difference between revisions

In '''2775''', the [[Ninth Doctor]], [[Rose Tyler|Rose]] and [[Jack Harkness|Jack]] paid a visit to the colony world of [[4378976.Delta-Four]]. There, they found a society in revolt. [[Hal Gryden]]'s [[Static TV]] pre-empted the 36 so-called "real" channels — which only broadcast the news and non-scripted programming. This appeared to increase the incidents of people going "[[fantasy crazy]]". The [[police]] stormed the [[Big White House]], a sort of asylum for the fantasy crazy, which ended the riots by force.

However, what really pacified the people was the revelation that a senior police official, Inspector [[Waller (The Stealers of Dreams)|Waller]], was herself fantasy crazy. This allowed the colony's officials to understand that it was an actionable disease, rather than just "people going crazy". Further scientific study, aided by the Doctor, uncovered the fact the condition wasn't psychological, but in fact caused by micro-organisms. A medical cure was therefore swiftly concocted, the colony had elections for a new government a few months later, and Channel One began broadcasting its first scripted drama series in ages.
