The Ratings War was a special Big Finish recording given away with Doctor Who Magazine #313. It featured the Sixth Doctor taking on another of his old Comic Strip foes, Beep the Meep.
Publisher's summary
Beep the Meep is back -- and he's found a new channel for his aggression! A brand new series is about to make television history, but can the Doctor prevent his furry foe from turning a docu-drama into a crisis, or will the fluffy-wuffy animals get it in the neck? The first shots in the ratings war have been fired, and the next one is aimed at your head...
