Plastic

Plastic was an artificial substance created on Earth by humans. The Nestene Consciousness had the 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)
