Week 6 of the Summer of Syl. The Doctor and Ace come across a colony where happiness is the rule, and frowning is a hate crime with a penalty of death. In any culture where you can be punished just for thinking in an unapproved societal way, the people that will thrive will be the ones who choose to never use their brains. Can the Doctor and Ace lead a race of mentally- stunted individuals in a revolution against an all-consuming government?
