Greatest Show On Earth, The
Synopsis:
Tom Mack's Captivating Carnival is broke. they aren't drawing the punters like they used to, and Peter the accountant wants them to ditch the past and switch to things like virtual boxing, merchandising and ripping off the Wiggles. Secretly, Peter has lined up a buyer who wants to take over Australia's ageing carnivals and turn them into roadtrains full of things to flog. But Tom and his rodeo clowns, trick riders and feisty beauties in flying machines have got passion, a burning purpose, and a very different plan.
