"A
visitor? Well it must be a long
time since the Tower saw any
of those."
Built
towards the end of the twenty-first
century, Paradise Towers is
a massive housing block, stretching
up towards the sky. With its
beautiful decor, smart apartments,
fantastic facilities and high
standards of maintenance, it
is hardly surprising that the
architect, Kroagnon, won many
professional awards.
Mel
wants to go swimming and as
the TARDIS pool has been jettisoned
due to a leak, Paradise Towers
seems to fit the bill. However,
when she and the Doctor arrive,
instead of the bright squares
and charming cloisters the brochure
promised, they find dark, rat-infested
corridors full of uncontrollable
cleaning machines, undisciplined
street gangs and over-worked
and belligerent caretakers,
some of whom are disappearing
in mysterious circumstances.
What
has caused such terrible decay?
How could such perfect accommodation
have become so run down and
dangerous? And why do the street-wise
Kangs, apathetic caretakers,
sinister Rezzies and Pex - the
self-appointed warrior who puts
the world of Paradise Towers
to rights - all fear whatever
terrible force dwells in the
basement? Only the unpredictable
Chief Caretaker knows what is
down there - and the real secret
behind the disappearances.. |
