The Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) and Ace (Sophie Aldred) arrive on Terra Alpha, an earth colony ruled by the Happiness Patrol. Strictly forbidding anyone to express sadness, the Patrol metes out horrible punishments for violation of the rules. David John Pope guest-stars as the robotic Kandyman, who dispenses those punishments on behalf of dictator Helen A (atypically played by gifted comic actress Sheila Hancock). The first episode of the three-part "The Happiness Patrol" was written by Graeme Curry, and originally aired on November 2, 1988. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
