There are so many factors that play into this, but the main one in my opinion is the weirdness of the surroundings. We're treated to surreal images of a clown dressed as an undertaker setting off kites to find an Adam Ant impersonator, which feels so odd that it draws a sense of curiousity about the proceedings. This is helped by the music, by Mark Ayres, who delivers a muted but everpresent feel of mystery to the story, adding a degree of suspense, and helping build an atmosphere that engages the viewer.
So I'm actually rather looking forward to the next episode of The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, and I hope that it will live up to the oddness of the first part.
