Arriving on Segonax, the Seventh Doctor and Ace visited 'The Greatest Show in the Galaxy', also known as the Psychic Circus - an intergalactic travelling show.

With their Big Top pitched in a beautiful, sandy desert under the rings of another planet in the deep blue sky, the Psychic Circus had picked a stunning backdrop for their tourist trap.

However, the colours and the lights were just a front as this was a literal tourist trap. The Circus was under the control of sinister clowns, malfunctioning robots, and the ancient Gods of Ragnarok who were forcing audience members to perform for them in a deadly show.

The Seventh Doctor destroyed the Big Top and scattered the Circus, leaving this arid world back in the hands of the native Segonaxians.

Intergalactic Travel Advice: avoid if you don't have a party trick.
