 Welcome, one and all to the Psychic Circus! September 8, 2001

This story is one of the most creepy and chilling of the 7th doctors era(along with the curse of fenric). The story is well plotted with fantastic performances from all the cast. The Greatest Show in the Galaxy also excells because it sticks to the old doctor who recipe and doesn't make the events clear until the final episode. On reveiwing this story it reminded me of how scared I was watching it as a child and believe me when I say it has much the same effect now! This is a brilliant video!
Strange and brilliant. December 26, 2000
If Doctor Who could frighten anyone over the age of ten, this is one story that could do it. There has always been something peculiarly sinister about clowns and it is amazing that the series really hadn't used them before. The visual effects are quite good and Ian Reddington is outstanding as the chief clown. T.P. McKenna is somewhat laid back in this adventure but I disagree with a previous reviewer that he was poor: remember, one can be sinister without doing very much. The way the Doctor and Ace are trapped in a very large and complex tent is excellent and the weird family in the audience are just spooky. This was an excellent Doctor Who of all time.

The once glorious Psychic Circus has set up on the desolate world of Segonax, and when the Doc + Ace arrive they are forced by the sinister Chief Clown to take part in a deadly talent show along with other ''visitors'', in which the performers are judged by an old-fashioned family of three and, if judged as unsatisfactory, are vapourised. With the aid of werewolf Mags and the Bellboy, the Doc sets out to discover the true identity of the unsettling family and winds up having a few brawls with robotic clowns.....pAfter the disasters of the late Baker/early McCoy eras Doctor Who finally gives us a great season, to which this story is a perfect end and the second best (after the truly awesome Rememberance). There's never a dull moment, with sinister robot clowns, murderous bus condutors, werewolves and zombies being just a few of the attractions. McCoy's at his best so far, while Ace really is starting to shine. Easily the scariest Who in years.pJames

Wow this is quite a macbre story. I found the head clown rather creepy and the family sitting in the circus was wierd. Of course I have to say that I knew they were the gods of Ragnorok or something like that. I loved the setting that it was filmed in and I would recomend this video to Sylvester Mcoy doctor fans. Over all a very good story.
