Doctor Who’s Most Controversial Classic | The Talons of Weng Chiang | VS: Review

The Talons of Weng Chiang is often ranked as one of the greatest Doctor Who stories of all time. It’s atmospheric, creepy, full of Victorian mystery, and gives us the legendary Jago & Litefoot bromance. Tom Baker is having a blast, Leela is an absolute menace, and the story feels like prestige Classic Who. So… why is it also one of the most controversial stories the show has ever produced? In this review, I break down why Talons works so well, why fans still love it, and why parts of it have aged very badly. We talk Leela’s MVP status, giant sewer rats, creepy puppets with pig brains, Sherlock Holmes cosplay, and the uncomfortable reality of how race, stereotypes, and “yellowface” are handled — and more importantly, never challenged by the Doctor himself. Is The Talons of Weng Chiang still worth watching? Why does it take so long to get good? And how did this story give us the first true Doctor Who Dynamic Duo? Let’s talk about it.
