Pull To Open: A Random Doctor Who PodcastPlanet Mirth (Delighting “The Happiness Patrol”)Doctor Who gets political, camp, and candy-coated all at once in The Happiness Patrol. On Terra Alpha, Helen A rules with a smile—and a gun—while her confectionary executioner, The Candy Man, dishes out death by fondant.
