Synopsis by Hal Erickson
"The Talons of Weng-Chiang, Episode 1" of this six-part Doctor Who adventure, was originally broadcast February 26 1977. The Doctor (Tom Baker) and Leela (Louise Jameson) materialize in Victorian London, where they are plunged into a murder investigation involving what seems to be a pack of gigantic rats. What connection could this possibly have with the Chinese Tong of the Black Scorpion? "The Talons of Weng-Chiang, Episode 1" was written by Robert Holmes.
