Carnival of Monsters is the second serial of the tenth season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Whowhich was first broadcast in four weekly parts on BBC1 from 27 January to 17 February In the serial, set on the planet Inter Minor, the alien time traveller the Third Doctor and his travelling Katy Manning are trapped inside a miniscope, a device used by the showman Vorg Leslie Dwyer to shrink life forms and Doctor Who and the Carnival of Monsters: A 3rd Doctor Novelisation them on display for entertainment. Being repeatedly arrested as stow-aways, the Third Doctor and Jo find out that ship's Doctor Who and the Carnival of Monsters: A 3rd Doctor Novelisation keep repeating their actions, having no recollection of earlier encounters. The pair escape from the ship through a strange hatch plainly visible to them both but ignored by the crew and passengers. The Doctor and Jo venture through the circuitry of some sort of giant machine and arrive at marsh lands. They soon discover that they are not outside but are still inside the machine. Chased by Drashigs, huge swamp-dwelling carnivores, they escape back into the circuitry. Here, the Doctor realises that they have materialised inside the compression field of a Miniscope, a machine that keeps miniaturised groups of creatures in miniaturised versions of their natural environments. The Time Lords have banned such machines, but apparently one escaped. The Drashigs break into the circuitry and the Doctor and Jo flee back to the ship. They are separated in the confusion as the crew defend against the Drashigs. The events inside the miniscope are intercut with events involving its owners, travelling showman Vorg and his assistant Shirna, who have just arrived at the planet of Inter Minor but are suspected of being spies and refused entrance by a tribunal. The tribunal learns that objects removed from the machine soon return to their normal size when Vorg extracts a foreign object stuck in the circuitry — actually the TARDIS — from the machine. Two of the tribunal members, dissatisfied with the leadership of their planet, plot to let the Drashigs escape from the machine and allow them to wreak havoc, causing a crisis and the president's resignation. The Doctor eventually finds a way to the real outside and is restored to normal size. After he goes back into the Scope, which is now overheating due to the Drashigs' damage, the device he attached is shot by a tribunal member and ceases to function, leaving the Doctor stranded. He finds Jo, but they collapse on the floor as the heat gets to be too much for them. Two Drashigs escape, but Vorg kills them by fixing the eradicator, sabotaged by the mutinous tribunal members. He fixes the Doctor's device, pushing the Phase Two switch which brings the Doctor and Jo back, just in time, and also returning all of the Scope's other occupants to their rightful space-time positions. As the penniless Vorg tries to get enough credit bars to return home by using the old three- magum-pods-and-a-yarrow-seed trickthe two travellers depart in the TARDIS. The aliens on display in Vorg's miniscope include: Drashigs, and Cybermen. Working titles for this story included Peepshow. This story was recorded as part of the production block for the previous season but deliberately held over for Season Ten. This was to enable to direct the production, since his role as producer would have made it difficult to do so at the start of a production block as he had found out with . The titles for Carnival of Monsters were prepared, like Frontier in Spacewith a new arrangement of the theme music performed by on a synthesizer.

This edit, which also featured a few extra scenes, was used in the VHS release. The opening and closing title sequence versions of the theme have been included as an extra on the DVD release of the story. The original 2m 30sec theatrical release of this music was wiped many years ago. The ship used was the RFA Robert Dundas which had been decommissioned and was scrapped immediately after filming.

He praised the guest cast, though he felt the Drashigs were a mixed bag. She felt that the Drashigs still worked because they were "such hideous- looking creatures".

Target began numbering its novelisations fromwith almost all of the first seventy-three books being numbered as reprints came out. The first new book to be numbered was Time-Flight. Target's numbering did not initially reflect original publication order which would have placed David Whitaker's Doctor Who and the Daleks book firstbut rather was conducted in alphabetical order, so that the novelisation of The Abominable Snowmen was numbered "1". The numbering likewise had no connection with production or broadcast order. Due to print delays and last-minute reordering of publication schedules, some of the later books were released out of numeric order. For the first few years of the Target line, it was common practice for the novels to have titles that differed from the adapted serials: for example, Doctor Who and the Invasionwhich was based upon the serial .
