169: The Star Beast (1980)

He's back - and it's about time! Are we talking about the Doctor? Or David Tennant? Maybe Russell T Davies? The Meep himself? Whatever, we don't mind - Doctor Who returns to our TV screens in The Star Beast today, 25 November, and to celebrate, Steevie, Dave and Kenny turn back the clock to look at not just the original comic, but also the Big Finish audio adaptation. And - we've two guests, including comics royalty, as original Star Beast writer Pat Mills joins us for a chat! Also popping in is Will Brooks, who discusses creating the Meep on the Big Finish cover. We also get the definitive answer on what colour the Meep was originally intended to be - is he white? Or is he comic blue? There's only one way to find out!
