Brenton, who had experience with large arena-based shows (including a Thomas the Tank Engine live experience), decided that the performance would need more narrative thrust and live engagement with the audience. In discussions with Doctor Who executive producer Steven Moffat, Brenton proposed a "Jurassic Park kind of feel, with this character who's reeling out these characters"; Moffat suggested that the show could follow on from elements of the 1973 Doctor Who television serial Carnival of Monsters, which featured an interstellar showman who kept different monsters miniaturised for entertainment. Doctor Who writer Gareth Roberts was brought on to co-write the show's script with Brenton. Ben Foster, who orchestrates Murray Gold's compositions for the television programme, developed the musical component of the show, and conducts the 16-piece band.
