Greatest Show In The Galaxy


A 4 part serial that is really well done. All the main characters are fleshed out and of course Jessica martin as Mags is just the Best!
She brings a spark of life to the show, and I can only have wished she was to continue
Circus' are always a great place to find evil doings, and this one has some good ones
The clowns, the robots, the Evil Eye, all well done.
The Doctor, once again takes over early and after a short bit when he is captured, no one stands in his way.
Ace is a bit of over her head here I thought. It might have been Mags being such a strong personality.
I did enjoy it, and am sorry to say I've only 4 more stories to go.

Great story, even as Sylv's doctor is dark and serious, he gets to display his comedic chops and acrobatic skills in his performance for the gods of ragnorak (if only he'd had a ferret handy)
I like that you get to see Ace and the Doctor inside the TARDIS too, something that was a pretty rare occurrence in the last couple of seasons.

This is one of those serials that stuck in my memory from the 80s/early 90s until I was able to buy the DVDs a decade or two later, especially impressive as I actually drifted away from Who a little throughout Colin and Sylv's eras.

The clowns driving around a hearse is quite a bizarre and disturbing image. Another wonderfully weird and dark story from the McCoy era. I think the production troubles helped make this one look better. Had they not filmed in a real tent in the studio parking lot, it just wouldn't look as good.

Next season, Ace will get all of the season devoted to her as a story arc, so you have that to look forward to.

Well if you liked the story try this out, it's as Ace would say 'wicked':

The 'official music video' might I add. It's not bad at all.
