Doctor               Who               has               returned               to               both               British               and               American               television               screens.

As               of               this               writing,               oddly               enough               we               are               talking               about               two               different               actors,               but               American               will               catch               up               next               year.

Never               a               Doctor               Who               fan               growing               up,               I               only               watched               the               show               because               my               wife               was               a               fanatic.

But               that's               all               I'm               going               to               reveal               about               that.
               My               favorite               episode               was               The               Talons               of               Weng               Chiang.

This               Doctor               Who               episode               plays               out               like               a               Sherlock               Holmes               mystery,               set               in               England               during               roughly               the               same               period.

The               Doctor's               companion               is               Leela,               the               wild               native               girl               who               wears               more               clothing               in               this               episode               than               most               others.

As               a               present               for               my               wife,               I               bought               the               deluxe               two               disc               DVD               version               and               I               must               say               it               was               worth               the               price.
               For               those               who               are               completely               ignorant               of               Doctor               Who,               he               is               a               Time               Lord               who               travels               willy-nilly               through               space               and               time.

The               show               was               the               longest-running               series               in               British               history.

That               sounds               pretty               impressive,               but               you               must               remember               that               the               second               longest               running               series               only               has               six               episodes.

(A               Simpsons               joke,               yes,               but               almost               accurate).

Over               the               course               of               the               decades               during               which               this               show               aired,               several               different               actors               played               the               doctor,               none               of               them               bearing               any               resemblance               to               one               another.

This               is               because               Time               Lords               must               periodically               regenerate,               transforming               their               looks               and               personalities.
               The               most               popular               of               the               actors               to               play               the               Doctor               was               Tom               Baker,               who               also               played               him               for               the               longest               time,               during               the               height               of               the               show's               popularity               in               the               70s.

The               Talons               of               Weng               Chiang               is               one               of               those               episodes;               indeed,               it               was               voted               the               best               Doctor               Who               story               ever               in               honor               of               the               40th               anniversary               of               the               show.

It's               easy               to               see               why.

It               features               fascinating               characters,               a               Jack               the               Ripper               type               plot,               and               a               giant               sewer               rat.

In               addition,               there               is               also               an               early               appearance               by               the               diminutive               actor               Deep               Roy,               who               recent               gained               fame               playing               the               Oompa               Loompas               in               Charlie               and               the               Chocolate               Factory.

Here               he               plays               a               ventriloquist               dummy               who               is               also               an               assassin.
               The               story               is               chock               full               of               memorable               moments.

My               favorite               involves               a               magic               act               in               which               the               Doctor               disappears               and               the               Chinese               magician               exclaims:               "The               bird               has               flown.

One               of               us               is               yellow."               Racist?

Yeah,               maybe               slightly,               but               not               in               any               mean               way               and,               besides,               it's               funny.

My               wife               really               enjoys               the               "diversion"               created               during               the               climax               with               the               giant               dragon               and               Deep               Roy's               ray               gun.

This               diversion               is               guaranteed               to               capture               the               attention               of               someone               trying               to               kill               you;               try               it               yourself.
               Equally               entertaining               are               the               scenes               in               the               sewer               with               the               enormous               rat.

It               is               this               kind               of               special               effect               that               earned               the               show               it's               heartfelt               appreciation               by               fans.

And               as               cheesy               as               it               may               be,               it's               still               more               believable               than               the               dinosaurs               in               the               recent               King               Kong               remake.

The               scene               where               Leela               makes               her               escape               through               the               window               is               another               high               point.
               Originally               aired               as               half               hour               episodes,               there               is               a               cliffhanger               ending               very               twenty-five               minutes               or               so.

The               best               way               to               watch               this               is               by               re-enacting               how               it               was               originally               presented.

Watch               an               episode               and               then               come               back               to               it               the               next               night.

Of               course,               you               can               watch               it               straight               through               but               you               don't               get               the               chance               to               build               up               the               suspense               by               doing               that.
               Getting               back               to               the               concerns               about               racism:               John               Bennett,               an               Englishman,               plays               the               magician               Li               H'sen               Chang               under               heavy               Chinese               makeup.

Would               it               have               been               better               to               have               cast               an               actual               Chinese               actor?

Perhaps,               but               Bennett               is               so               incredibly               good,               I               can't               imagine               anyone               doing               better,               Chinese               or               not.

His               Chang               is               by               turns               frightening,               funny,               and               pathetic.

Equally               terrific               are               the               comedic               relief               provided               by               Trevor               Baxter               and               Christopher               Benjamin.

Playing,               respectively,               the               manager               of               the               theater               where               Chang               performs               his               magic               act               and               a               professor               who               get               involved               in               helping               out               the               Doctor               as               he               uncovers               the               real               evil               behind               Chang.

Baxter               and               Benjamin               were               so               good               together,               despite               not               actually               appearing               onscreen               together               until               the               story               was               well               over               half               over,               that               there               was               some               talk               of               spinning               them               off               into               their               own               series.

It's               unfortunate               this               never               came               to               fruition,               though               as               Fonzie               and               Urkel               proved,               sometimes               leaving               the               audience               wanting               more               is               the               wiser               path.
               As               for               the               plot               itself,               it               is               far               too               complicated               and               open               to               spoilers               to               get               into               here.

It               is               a               very               long               adventure,               taking               up               six               episodes.

In               addition               to               Sherlock               Holmes               and               Jack               the               Ripper,               the               story               also               pays               homage               to               Phantom               of               the               Opera,               Fu               Manchu               and               Pygmalion.

(My               Fair               Lady               without               the               songs).

The               show               also               gives               an               uneasy               indication               of               the               influence               of               the               Chinese               mafia               know               as               the               Tong               that               gained               a               foothold               in               the               London               underworld               as               a               result               of               the               popularity               of               opium               dens               in               the               city               in               the               1800s.
               Tom               Baker               is,               for               most               fans,               the               quintessential               Doctor               Who.

He               was               the               first               to               play               up               the               humor               of               the               character,               something               that               subsequent               actors               have               all               capitalized               on               to               some               degree.

His               goofy               smile,               wild               hair               and               crazed               eyes               all               contribute               to               defining               the               character               of               Doctor               Who               that               no               successors               have               quite               been               able               to               top.

Playing               the               Doctor               as               half               Sherlock               Holmes               in               this               episode,               he               simply               has               a               field               day,               which               is               good               since               the               supporting               cast               is               all               top               notch               as               well.

My               wife               prefers               the               Doctor's               previous               companion,               Sarah,               but               I               enjoy               the               amoral               savagery               of               Leela.

She               has               trouble               comprehending               why               she               can't               resort               to               murder               whenever               the               need               arises;               fortunately,               the               Doctor               is               slightly               more               pacific               in               nature,               though               hardly               another               Gandhi               himself.
               This               DVD,               as               well               as               all               the               best               Doctor               Who               adventures,               is               proof               positive               that               a               great               story               beats               expensive               special               effects               every               time.

Yes,               the               effect               of               Chang's               eyes               glowing               with               hypnotic               power               is               barely               more               impressive               than               something               you               can               do               on               with               a               $90               video               editing               software               program               today,               but               I'd               rather               watch               The               Talons               of               Weng               Chiang               ten               times               in               a               row               than               have               to               sit               through               the               Lord               of               the               Rings               trilogy               or               the               first               hour               and               a               half               of               Jackson's               King               Kong.
               So               much               for               the               show,               what               about               the               special               features?

Leading               the               way               is               a               documentary               called               Whose               Doctor               Who               that               is               almost               an               hour               long               and               features               interesting               snippets               of               Doctor               Who               episodes               featuring               the               actors               who               preceded               Tom               Baker,               including               a               scene               from               the               very               first               Doctor               adventure               ever,               in               glorious               black               and               white.

Extensive               sections               of               the               documentary               features               behind               the               scenes               footage               of               the               making               of               Weng               Chiang.

It               s               really               interesting               to               see               the               magnificent               dragon               that               is               the               centerpiece               of               the               climax               of               the               story               in               its               unpainted,               barely               sculpted               form.

The               infamous               giant               rat,               the               subject               of               much               mockery,               also               gets               a               great               deal               of               screen               time               showing               its               development.

The               image               of               the               human               rehearsing               in               a               rat               costume               is               priceless.

Of               special               interest               is               a               scene               showing               Deep               Roy               trying               on               his               mask.
               There               are               some               very               funny               interviews,               circa               mid-70s               it               would               seem,               with               British               children-VERY               British               children-discussing               the               frightening               aspects               of               the               show;               these               interviews               are               punctuated               by               interviews               with               psychologists               and               educationalists-and               maybe               some               day               someone               will               tell               me               just               the               hell               an               educationalist               is-providing               insight               into               the               deeper               meanings               of               the               impact               of               scary               images               on               children.

There's               also               an               interesting               interview               with               Philip               Hinchcliffe,               the               producer.

The               commentary               unfortunately               doesn't               include               Baker,               but               does               get               provide               some               interesting               information               from               the               actress               who               plays               Leela,               Louise               Jameson,               as               well               as               Hinchcliffe,               Bennett               and               Benjamin.

One               of               the               hallmarks               of               the               Doctor               Who               DVDS               are               production               notes,               a               kind               of               pop-up               video               type               thing               that               provides               further               background               information               as               you               watch               the               show.

In               addition               to               being               interesting,               they               are               also               quite               cleverly               written.
               The               Talons               of               Weng               Chiang               is               a               must-have               DVD               for               any               fan               of               Doctor               Who,               but               is               also               worth               taking               a               look               even               if               you               know               nothing               about               this               show.

Not               just               for               science               fiction               fans,               it's               a               terrific               adventure               that               produces               laughs               and               chills.
