Line 13:
The amulet gets destroyed, which takes out the circus in a giant fireball of evil gods and creepy clowns, and Sylvester McCoy [[Unflinching Walk|walks unflinchingly]], both in-character and in real life.

== Tropes ==
* [[Alien Lunch]]
* [[Animorphism]]
Line 32:
* [[Miles Gloriosus]]: Captain Cook, a blustering braggart who is quick to pontificate about his many exploits, but [[Dirty Coward|makes sure to keep himself as far from danger as he can]]. It's a minor moment of awesome when, even as Cook has him penned in by a werewolf and at the mercy of the clowns, the Doctor finally has all he can stomach of Cook's tedious waffling and tells him to shut up.
* [[New Age Retro Hippie]]: Kingpin, Bellboy, Flower Child, ''et. al.''
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: The villains are [[Eldritch AbominationsAbomination]]s who need to be constantly entertained.
* [[Similar Squad]]: Captain Cook and Mags, for the Doctor and Ace.
* [[Spot of Tea]]: Captain Cook is taking tea in every scene in which he appears. Even when the party is attacked by a [[Humongous Mecha]].
Line 42:
* [[Wolf Man|Wolf Girl]]: As is common in ''[[Doctor Who]]''—see, for instance, [[Doctor Who/Recap/S18/E04 State of Decay|its]] [[Doctor Who/Recap/S26/E03 The Curse of Fenric|many]] [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E06 The Vampires of Venice|vampires]]—the specific variety of werewolf seen here has never been seen before and never will be again. Convergent evolution, we guess.
