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.

Typical contents

  1. One By One comic. This followed the popular zoo vet series, based on the David Taylor books.

  3. The Tripods comic. These were very well drawn stories, partly in colour on three pages. Drawn by John M. Burns http://www.thetripods.org/media/comics/beeb/beeb.html
  4. Bananaman comic, in colour, on a single page.
  5. The Family-Ness comic, in colour, on a single page.
