< ring > Programme resources here..... What's that....? Asbestos in the ceilings of the TV Centre..... Ah..... How long will it take to clear it...? Right..... I'll see what have we got scheduled in the studios for the next few days. Top of the Pops, OK, they can go out to some nightclub. Blue Peter, the weather's nice, they can go outside to the garden. 'Newsnight, they can struggle at Lime Grove for a few days. Doctor Who.... Ah.... Something about clowns and a circus, and a woman turning into a werewolf - yes, that impressions woman. No, not Janet Brown.... Let me think... Could we cancel it...? No...? Not until next year.... Ah... Well all it needs is a big tent.... Is Billy Smart's Circus anywhere near London? Oh, Aberdeen....What about Cyril Smith, has he got a shirt you could use? Oh, you've tried him, he's on holiday and taken his shirt with him. What do you suggest? A tent in the 'Grange Hill' carpark at Elstree? Would that work? Mmm, don't suppose it matters, it's only Doctor Who. UK Gold: The Greatest Show in the Carpark. Sunday 16 July. 8:50 - 10:55 am. - David Brunt

"Do you like clowns? No? But do they scare you? They scare Ace. So what does the Doctor do? He takes her to an intergalactic circus full of robotic ones. And that's not all - The Psychic Circus has a dangerous secret; the audience never leave. Faced with murderous bus conductors, killer clowns, and fanatical fanboys, the Doctor must enlist the help of the most boring explorer in the galaxy and his werewolf companion. Can the Doctor polish up his juggling act in time to please the gods? And can Ace restrain herself from clobbering Captain Cook?" - Mark Phippen
