A fully loaded 1977 "Doctor Who" classic featuring: -The Doctor strolling through shadowy London streets wearing a Sherlock Holmes-inspired deerstalker cap. -Leela out of her animal skin dress but still ready to rumble in ankle length Victorian-era garb.-Also on board: a sinister magician in the service of his Phantom of the Opera-like master.-Young wenches drained of their life energy to prolong the existence of a twisted time traveling scientist.-A ventriloquist dummy that's actually a deadly organic/robotic hybrid (played by Deep Roy from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" no less). -GIANT KILLER RATS! Okay, maybe not very convincing ones. But still, Giant Killer Rats prowling through the sewers.-A huge sculpted dragon (quite impressive in scale considering the limited budget) that shoots death rays from it's eyes,-and all these elements revolving around the search for a crystal key that opens another TARDIS-like time travel conveyance.-The absurdly over-played Weng-Chiang aside, this one features terrific performances. Of particular note is the chemistry between the supporting characters Mr. Jago and Prof. Lightfoot. "Talons.." is a "Doctor Who" episode that neither time nor dated effects can diminish the enjoyment of.
