Another adventure for the seventh incarnation of the philanthropic Time Lord. The Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) and Ace arrive on the planet Segonax, home of the Psychic Circus. Ruled over by the evil Chief Clown and his gang of robots, the Circus is designed to entertain a masked audience of three - and failure meets with instant death. Joined by the boastful Captain Cook and his companion, Mags, the Doctor and Ace enter the Circus talent contest - and find themselves having to compete with killer bus conductors and werewolves along the way!

Ralph Bakshi's animated version of the seminal fantasy trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkein, made by overlaying animation on live action actors (a unique pre-computer graphics technique). Set in the fictional world of Middle Earth, The Lord of the Rings tells the epic story of Frodo, a Hobbit who must defeat the evil figure Sauron who holds the Ring of Power, which controls the fate of all Middle Earth. On the way he and his band of friends and cousins must do battle with Black Riders, a Balrog and various other animated perils.
