It would be very easy to dismiss this as an average story, the sets perhaps don't look great, the Kandyman could well be Bertie Bassett's evil twin, and the least said about the go kart the better, but this reflected a period in British history, when many people were suffering financially and socially. The killjoys representing the vox populi, with Hancock representing Thatcher, quite superbly in my opinion.
The Doctor and Ace make a great duo, but it's the assembly of such an incredibly good cast, I can't think of many better, that make it so good. Ronald Fraser, Sheila Hancock, Lesley Dunlop, Georgina Hale, Rachel Bell, just fabulous.
I love the makeup on the Happiness Patrol, all there to symbolise a fake exterior, so clever.
The very first memory I have off Doctor Who was the Kandyman, and his kitchen, that's what got me hooked on Doctor Who. Loved it. 9/10
