The [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] head for the [[Psychic Circus]] on the planet [[Segonax]], where they meet a disparate group of performers and visitors, including a self-centred explorer named [[Cook (The Greatest Show in the Galaxy)|Captain Cook]], his companion [[Mags (The Greatest Show in the Galaxy)|Mags]] and a biker known as Nord. | The [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] head for the [[Psychic Circus]] on the planet [[Segonax]], where they meet a disparate group of performers and visitors, including a self-centred explorer named [[Cook (The Greatest Show in the Galaxy)|Captain Cook]], his companion [[Mags (The Greatest Show in the Galaxy)|Mags]] and a biker known as [[Nord]]. | ||
The circus itself is dominated by the sinister [[chief clown]] and his deadly troupe of [[robot clown]]s, who organise a [[talent contest]] in which all visitors take part. The audience consists of just a single strange [[family]] — [[mother]], [[father]] and [[daughter]] — seated at the ringside. Although hindered by the treacherous Cook, the Doctor eventually discovers that the Circus hides a terrible secret: the family are in reality the [[Gods of Ragnarok]], powerful creatures with an insatiable craving for entertainment who invariably destroy those who fail to please them. | The circus itself is dominated by the sinister [[chief clown]] and his deadly troupe of [[robot clown]]s, who organise a [[talent contest]] in which all visitors take part.
