BEEB

'BEEB' was a short-lived, weekly, children's magazine centred around the BBC's most popular programmes at the time of its publication. It was created as a competitor to ITV's Look-in magazine. It lasted 20 issues between January 29th 1985 and June 11th 1985. There was no announcement in the last issue, or any resolution to the ongoing comic serials.
