Farrel Plastics

Farrel Plastics was a British company that manufactured plastic products. It had been founded by John Farrel, who later retired and handed control of the company to his son, Rex Farrel. took control of Rex and used his factory to manufacture Autons and other Nestene-controlled plastic products. These included a plastic chair that asphyxiated McDermott, a plastic troll doll that killed John Farrel, a telephone cord that almost strangled the Third Doctor, and plastic daffodils that, when activated by radio signals, sprayed an airtight plastic mask over a victim's face, asphyxiating them. The Doctor discovered and defeated the Master's plan, and UNIT recalled the daffodils that had been freely distributed by the Autons. (TV: Terror of the Autons)
