The opening scene of "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy," featuring the ringmaster of the Psychic Circus (played by Ricco Ross).

find it so hilarious whenever ricco turns to the camera at the end.

This story is often overlooked as a great of the McCoy era. Yes, we have Remembrance and Fenric - but this is classic Who at its very best. This story deserves to have a seat at the table when the best McCoy stories are discussed.

Why is the best thing I've ever seen and why is it only in my life now🤣🙌I just keep replaying it

[@wleon4068]

This was one of my all-time favorites - along with 'Remembrance of the Daleks'. Anyone who does not like clowns {I do] DO NOT WATCH THIS. Lol

[@123goshino]

Damn.....seriously 80s

[@Symos]

That circus makes the audience in Britain's Got Talent look sycophantic.

@JMR83 he bears an uncanny, almost creepy resemblance to Barack Obama. But as far as I can tell via googling, it's not. This makes me sad :( I would love to see a young barack obama in a doctor who episode XD

[@darrenwilson5046]

I always thought this was Danny John Jules (Kat).. Re watching old Who episodes on Brit Box lol..

[@AimeeRose1997]

it's Rico Ross. Looks Like Him Though!

*u ain't seen nothing yet...*

[@jackdoe1883]

Barack Obama in his days as a jobbing actor!

[@kurtispopp]

His science is too tight!

[@Chino4video]

replay and replay and replay ~ :3

[@grant24678]

YAY....This is a good episode...Have you got the funny scene where the Nerdy guy goes Excuse me but you are captain cook the famous american explorere

[@XconsigliereX]

So many people forget this was Obama when he was an aspiring actor!

[@bbqplatypus318]

I really like this story, and McCoy's tenure as a whole is probably my favorite era of Doctor Who. But this scene is indefensible. I always fast-forward past this.

[@spaceboomer564]

know this comment is old but I disagree. In context it sets up the kind of eccentric setting this story will take place in, while also having a creepy vibe beneath it.

[@Scootaloo619]

twin brother of Will Smith

[@murrayjones694]

No Barack Obama

[@JamesPlaysGames95]

rap in doctor who. you could tell in the 7th doctors seasons, that they really needed a young demographic to watch again

[@chocolatepoodle6028]

Doubt it. It's just an aesthetic choice. If anything, this era had trouble attracting older audiences (who were tuning in to Coronation Street instead).

[@girlgarde]

@JMR83 Perhaps if Obama did raps like this when trying to put bills through or even during speeches, he'd be a more successful president.... lol

[@MrXLiebezeit]

I cried when I saw this. The episode concept wasn't that bad, in fact it was really interesting, but the execution was awful, and this didn't help it. At least for me, if you liked it, fine, I just couldn't stand it.

So you love The Timeless Children?
