Sil and the Devil Seeds of Arodor (home video)

Sil and the Devil Seeds of Arodor was a 2019 direct-to-video production featuring elements from the Doctor Who universe.

The story was also written by Sil's original creator, Philip Martin.

Synopsis
SIL is worried, very worried, which doesn't keep his reptilian skin in the best condition! Confined in a cold detention cell on the moon, awaiting a deportation hearing for trial on drugs offences on Earth, he faces a death sentence if the application is successful and he is found guilty. And his employers at the Universal Monetary Fund aren't pleased either. Not at all.

As time runs out and friends desert him, SIL must use all of his devious, vile, underhanded, ruthless, and amoral business acumen to survive.

Can he possibly slime his way out of this one?
