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.

Further down the road, [[Cook (The Greatest Show in the Galaxy)|Captain Cook]] and his friend [[Mags]], another pair of interplanetary adventurers, invite the Doctor and Ace for [[tea]] at their campsite. Ace and Mags find a [[Dumbo|deactivated robot]] nearby; it comes to life and attacks, but Ace defeats it with a [[shovel]]. | ||
Nord arrives at the circus. He seats himself in the audience — near a father, mother and little girl — and is surprised to find himself selected for the circus' "talent show". He is escorted backstage, where he finds the contestants in the talent show are to wait... in a cage. | Nord arrives at the circus.
