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.
