Placebo Effect (TV Story)

***Placebo Effect*** was the fourth serial of Season 35 of *Doctor Who*. It was written by Gary Russell, directed by John Henderson and starred Nick Berry as the Ninth Doctor & Gillian Kearney as Lillian Truscott.

## Synopsis

It is 3999. An artificial planetoid, Micawber's World, is hosting the Intergalactic Olympic Games, and athletes from all the worlds in the Galactic Federation are coming to take part. But when the Doctor and Lillian arrive, murders soon begin...

The Doctor finds himself drafted in to examine some bizarre new drugs that are said to enhance the natural potential of the competing athletes. But what is their real purpose? Why are members of the Security Forces disappearing randomly? And just why is Chase Carrington, manufacturer of the drug, so protective of his company's secrets?

Watching and waiting, at the very heart of Micawber's World, is a race of parasites the Doctor has fought before. The Wirrn have come to the Milky Way from Andromeda, determined to spread their seed throughout a whole new galaxy, and it seems to Lillian that the Doctor's hands are too full to pay their threat full attention...
