Summary: The Doctor and Ace visit an earth colony on a distant planet in the future where unhappiness is outlawed, killjoys are executed and everyone is forced to listen to piped lift music. They’ve banned all my favourite things: listening to sad music, reading poetry and walking in the rain without an umbrella. And the lesson we all learn is that happiness can’t be forced upon us but crazy eighties’ hairdos can.
Watch it because: The Kandy Man – a baddy constructed from oversized liquorice allsorts who literally kills people by drowning them in liquid sweets. God, I love this show.
