Life Form: Unknown
Episodes: The Idiot's Lantern
The Wire was a criminal alien life form, that’d been executed by its people on the planet Hermethica, but managed to preserve itself. On Earth, it took the form of a BBC continuity announcer to communicate. It hid inside television signals, and would be able to go from one television set to another, just like a normal signal given off. The Wire fed off the mental signals from humans, by using electrical tendrils, to leave its victim mindless, and also without a face. The Wire arrived on Earth in the year 1953, around the time of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. It forced an electric shop owner, Mr Magpie, to help it sell cheap TVs all over North London, so it could get a large feast. It wanted to take many people, when many were all watching the Queen’s coronation. So it told Mr Magpie how to make a portable television, and go right to the top of the transmission tower, on Alexandra Palace, where the television was broadcasting from. The Wire could then transmit itself to the three million people watching, hoping that it was going to create enough energy to re-create her original body again, but the plan was thwarted by the Doctor and Tommy.
