The TARDIS is penetrated by the jettisoned flight recorder of a recently destroyed starship. Cuthbert, President of Conglomerate, intends that the recorder's message will never be heard - and he has an army of Temperons to do his bidding.

Originally released in 1986 as part of the second season of plays from Audio Visuals (a non-profit-making fan organisation).

VILGRETH

This extra story was written and produced at the 11th hour, when it became evident that The Destructor Contract would overrun it original C60 tape allocation by 1 minute! The tape duration was altered to a C90, and Vilgreth now occupies the beginning of the first side, and the end of the second side of the tape.

Details of The Destructor Contract overleaf

DESTRUCTOR CONTRACT

During 1985, I started word on The Time Destructors, a sequel to Conglomerate. I knew I wanted a strong, unconventional villain, but I didn't dare write the part until I knew we could get Barry Killerby. I phoned him up and asked him if he'd play a part in one of our plays. He said he would. Then I wrote the script, with Barry's taste for extravagant characters very much in mind! Cuthbert, the bizarre intergalactic tycoon was born.

Conglomerate Stories

This is the second Conglomerate story, and it depicts the company's interference in galactic affairs. This theme is developed further in Alan W Lear's Enclave Irrelative , Andy Lane's Requiem and, more graphically, in my collaboration with Samuel Flint, Subterfuge.
Arthur Wallis, April 1991
