Whizz Kid

Story: The Greatest Show in the Galaxy
Written By: Stephen Wyatt
Length: 3 Episodes
Year: 1988-89

This is a story that has some good moments, but it never reaches its potential. It is marred by the Doctor acting like a total clown in a "magic show", which seemed annoying throughout. It does have a great moment however with a Circus tent exploding, as McCoy just briskly walks away, very Doctor.
The character of the Whizz Kid is an obvious parody of the geeky fans who were plaguing the audience at this time. Religiously watching the show despite nothing but negative things to say about it. He is funny at times, but he is ultimately pointless to the plot.

Could've been worse.
