It is kinda wild how many Doctor Who spin-offs have an episode with an evil clown.

The Sarah Jane Adventures have an evil clown 2-parter which references Steven King's IT; Sarah Jane canonically has coulrophobia, the K9 series has an episode where the villains are dressed as clowns (which also features? Wrestling, I think?, and Torchwood has an episode where they battle a carnival troupe who steal people's breath (feat. clown acrobats), which is probably the only time a clown performance has ever been referred to as breath-taking.

I'm beginning to suspect that the only reason Class wasn't renewed was because they spent their makeup budget on alien effects rather than creepy clown effects, like God intended.

Real cauldrophobia hours

Doctor Who/ Sarah Jane Adventures did an episode with evil clowns. Star Trek: Voyager did an episode with evil clowns. I was beginning to think Star Wars was the only major sci fi series free from a clown threat, and then I remembered...

Jar-Jar Binks.
