S6E2 · The Dominators Part 2
Doctor and Jamie feign stupidity under torture

The electrified dais within the Dominators' saucer interior is a focal point of this event, serving as both a tool for interrogation and a stage for the Doctor and Jamie's deception. The raised platform delivers painful electric shocks when the captives stand or sit on it, completing a circuit that punishes them for incorrect puzzle solutions or attempts to escape. The dais is surrounded by metal rails, which the Quarks attach force units to, ensuring the captives cannot leave without triggering the shocks. Its brutal efficiency underscores the Dominators' reliance on pain as a control mechanism, while also providing the Doctor and Jamie with an opportunity to further sell their act of stupidity by struggling to understand basic concepts like electricity.
