Product Details
Three digitally remastered Doctor Who episodes from the 1970s, '80s and '90s.
In 'The Talons of Weng-Chiang' (1977), the Doctor (Tom Baker) and Leela (Louise
Jamison) arrive in Victorian London to find that galactic war criminal Magnus
Greel has created giant rats in the sewers and is sucking the life essence from
young girls to sustain him in his search for his time cabinet. Aided by
Professor Litefoot and music hall proprietor Henry Jago, the Doctor must stop
Greel (masquerading as the Chinese god Weng Chiang) and his servants Li H'sen
Chang and killer doll Mr Sin.
'The Caves of Androzani' (1984) represents the final outing for the fifth
incarnation of everyone's favourite Time Lord. The Doctor (Peter Davison) and
Peri (Nicola Bryant) become embroiled in an underground war of gun running and
drug smuggling shortly after landing on the planet Androzani Minor. Apprehended
by the military, they are rescued from execution by the brilliant but horribly
disfigured criminal, Sharaz Jek, whose infatuation with Peri looks set to be cut
short when he discovers that both she and the Doctor have contracted the deadly
disease Spectrox Toxaemia. The only possible cure is the milk of the queen bat,
which dwells in the caves currently being roamed by the killer Magma Creature...
In 'Doctor Who: The Movie' (1996), the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) crashlands the
TARDIS on Earth in end-of-century San Francisco while en route to return The
Master's remains to their home planet of Gallifrey. Gunned down by a street
gang, the Doctor is rushed to hospital, where exploratory surgery by Doctor
Grace Holloway (Daphne Ashbrook) triggers a regeneration. The Master has
meanwhile taken over the body of a paramedic and infiltrated the Doctor's TARDIS,
which he plans to use in his latest scheme to take over the Doctor's new body
and destroy the world. Filmed as the pilot for a revived 'Doctor Who' series -
tailored to the American market - which subsequently failed to materialise, this
feature-length adventure introduces Paul McGann as the renegade Time Lord.
