Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: The Greatest Show in the Galaxy




Doctor Who:
Greatest Show in the Galaxy
By Stephen Wyatt

“The climax of my act, Gods of Ragnarok, requires something you do not possess in great abundance. That is, imagination. And it starts with a piece of metal. This piece of metal once belonged to a sword, and that sword belonged to a gladiator.
And that gladiator fought and died in this ring to entertain you.”

The TARDIS gets a piece of junk mail that advertises Psychic Circus and beckons them to come and see it.   The Doctor and Ace proceed to the planet of Segonax to visit the circus.  Ace wants nothing to do with it as she finds circus’s creepy especially the clowns.  What they do not know is that the Psychic Circus is in the control of the Gods of Ragnarok who want acts to entertain them and if they don’t they die.


The main culprit and the one that appears in charge is the Chief Clown who is creepy in his own right as he constantly tries to keep Bell Boy in check and goes after those who try and escape the circus.  The Doctor and Ace meet up with an explore Captain Cook and his woman friend who we find out later is a werewolf.  They proceed to the Circus where The Doctor ends up getting imprisoned.  What this means for The Doctor is that he is next in line to perform and if he doesn’t do well he will end up dead.
