Publisher's summary
None released. The following is the story summary provided in Doctor Who Magazine Issue 419:


 * Freakshow features the Fifth Doctor, Turlough and Tegan. Aboard the TARDIS, Turlough is recording his testimony.  He tells the story of a past adventure - a visit to Buzzard Creek, on Earth. There he meets the enigmatic Thaddeus P Winklemeyer, who possesses a caged menagerie of unusual aliens.  And he'd jump at the chance to add Turlough to his collection...

Cast

 * Vislor Turlough - Mark Strickson
 * Thaddeus P Winklemeyer - Toby Longworth

Continuity

 * The events take place around the town of Buzzard Creek, somewhere in the western states of America, circa 1905.
 * This story is set fairly close after the events of Enlightenment, as Turlough works through the personal troubles raised by working for the Black Guardian.
 * The narration takes place shortly after that, as Turlough records a deposition for the Galactic Authorities.
 * While the setting and antagonist are very similar to that of NSA:Peacemaker, the two appear to be unrelated incidents.
 * Smart implants were outlawed 8 centuries earlier by the Hexen-Brock treaty. The Doctor saved Jallican Brock from assassination by a Tamaranian death squad at the signing of the treaty.
