Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: Carnival of Monsters





Doctor Who:
Carnival of Monsters
By Robert Holmes

“Roll up and see the monster show! A carnival of monsters, all living in their natural habitat, wild in this little box of mine. A miracle of intragalactic technology! Roll up! Roll up!”

The Doctor free from his exile ends up arriving on a ship in the Indian Ocean that Jo seems to think does not look like Metebelis 3 a place The Doctor was hoping to land on.  Soon after exploring the ship they are arrested for being stowaways.  The Doctor notices that there is something strange going on.  For one there is a metal plate on ship from the 1920’s and since its always supper time it should be dark out.  Then there is the dinosaur that keeps making an appearance in the ocean and well that positively should not be in the Indian Ocean in the 1920’s.

To make matters worse The Doctor will soon find out he is trapped in a Miniscope. A Miniscope is a device that shows creatures in their habitat but they are trapped in a kind of timeloop thing to preserve them.  But that isn’t the worse part as also inside the Miniscope is the Dragshigs.  The Dragshigs are an unrelenting creature that hunts by smell and they never give up as The Doctor and Jo will soon find out.
