Plastic



Plastic was an artificial substance created on Earth by humans. The Nestenes had a power to control it.

Overview
Plastic could be moulded and shaped into objects when warm. It was used to make such items as mannequins (TV: Spearhead from Space, Rose), telephones, dolls, inflatable chairs and artificial flowers. It was unusual for plastic to have a cold, clammy feeling. (TV: Terror of the Autons).

Only at close range could regular bullets penetrate and blow plastic apart. (TV: Spearhead from Space, Terror of the Autons, Rose)

Plastic was made in factories, some of them being:


 * Auto Plastics, which specialised in automotive plastics. (TV: Spearhead from Space)
 * Farrel Plastics, which created everyday plastic. (TV: Terror of the Autons)
