The Seventh Doctor and Mel get tangled up in an experiment intended to stop violent urges in people, which of course has other effects. There's a lot of shouting. There's some good bits but overall, not a favorite.

The best thing about Red is Sandi Toksvig, whose society is under the control of a computer protecting it from violence. Of course, it is under threat from a) the outcasts who are still capable of violence and b) the computer going mad. The plot goes as you would expect, Sylvester McCoy does a lot of shouting and Bonnie Langford doesn't do very much. It wasn't as actively bad as the plays immediately before and after, but not great either.
