Review of The Talons of Weng-Chiang by AndyUK

23 September 2024

I feel like it is maybe losing some of the reputation it had over time because of the racist elements, but I still think it remains one of highlights of the classic series, especially from a production standpoint. The Victorian costumes and atmosphere are perfect, as are the characters and story. I can personally get past things like the yellowface and cultural stereotypes as products of their time but it's understandable if people are not able to. I don't particularly like the fact The Doctor never comments on some of the language used. It's an awkward one to review, but it's still an incredible story.
