Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo was a city in Europe.

Geography
Natural locations within Monte Carlo included a body of water and the Forest of Digne, (TV: The Man from MI.5) while man-made structures included the Monte Carlo Cassino, (PROSE: The Tudor Engagement) another casino which was once visited by Parker, a hotel, and a series of boathouses, one of which was used in a plot by Carl's gang. (TV: The Man from MI.5)

History
In 1893, the Paternoster Gang cornered bank robber Volta in the kitchens of the Monte Carlo Cassino, at which point he used a device to travel through time to the court of Henry VIII in 1544. The gang followed him to 1544, and returned to Monte Carlo shortly after, handing Volta over to the police. (PROSE: The Tudor Engagement)

In an account dated to 1965, Monte Carlo was the setting of a scheme by Carl and his gang to steal the plans to a nuclear device from MI5 agent Captain Blacker's yacht, destroy the yacht with explosives, and escape. After fellow MI5 agent Jimmy Bondson saw the event and contacted International Rescue, he explained the situation to Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward in the Forest of Digne and they decided to help him.

After a series of events led to Lady Penelope being kidnapped, left on a boat to be blown up, and subsequently being saved by her fellow International Rescue members, the plans were recovered and returned to Bondson in the Forest of Digne, while the members of Carl's gang were captured. (TV: The Man from MI.5)

Other sources dated the activities of International Rescue to the 1990s, (PROSE: The Dying Days) the 2060s, (PROSE: Titan Declares War! et al.) and the 2080s. (PROSE: Captain Scarlet in Death Crash! et al.)

Shortly before travelling to the Gogglebox inside the Moon in the far future, the Fifth Doctor dropped off Peri Brown and Erimem in Monte Carlo in 1966, so they could stop the Veiled Leopard from being stolen. (AUDIO: The Veiled Leopard, The Gathering)

However, shortly before visiting his former companion Evelyn Smythe on Világ, the Seventh Doctor dropped off Ace and Hex in Monte Carlo during the same era and instructed them to steal the Veiled Leopard. (AUDIO: The Veiled Leopard, Thicker Than Water)

In one of her incarnations, Iris Wildthyme played roulette there, which soon developed into an obsession. (AUDIO: Dark Side)
