This short adventure finds the Sixth Doctor visiting a TV station where a reality show about reality shows is airing its live finale. There the Doctor discovers a creature he faced in the comics, Beep the Meep, a cute furry creature who is actually a vicious budding dictator who plans to use mind control to turn the audience into murderous zombies.
Beep is certainly one of the stranger villains, but like the baby God in The Holy Terror (M014) the cute voice only makes him creepier. This also manages to jab satirically at television, and Colin Baker gets off a very appropriate (for his Doctor) line about being better suited to the radio.
