The Finetime programme was set up by Finetime Industries, a company based on Lindy Pepper-Bean's Homeworld in the distant future.
History[]
Finetime was a domed city located on an unknown, dangerous planet covered in a forest known as the Wild Woods. The residents were warned about the Wild Woods. However, the city was securely sealed off with protection that even the Doctor's TARDIS could not break through.
The city of Finetime locked off older areas. There was a river running through the city, and accessed by conduits that were closed by combination locks that could be opened by a code.
The project's aim was to send the richest people on their planet, aged between seventeen and twenty-seven, to work there for two hours a day and then party for the rest of the time. Workers there worked exclusively in data processing, cleaning up substack information and delivering it back to the Homeworld.
Finetime and the Homeworld were eventually infested with Mantraps when social media devices, known as Dots, became sentient and created the creatures out of hatred for having to watch and listen to the vain and ignorant users.
The Mantraps ate the residents in alphabetical order, made easier by the fact that the Bubbles generated by the Dots not only blocked the users' view but also instructed them to walk directly into the creatures' mouths.
The Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday managed to orchestrate the escape of several residents. However, Lindy and the rest of Finetime then chose to attempt to survive in the Wild Woods, despite knowing it was deemed dangerous to inhabit, rather than be saved by the Doctor towards whom they harboured racist thoughts due to the colour of his incarnation's skin.
