Titles Comprise:
The Talons Of Weng-Chiang: In this feature-length
adventure set deep in the darkest heart of Victorian London, the
Doctor and Leela are confronted by a series of bizarre and horrific
events. An innocent cabbie is viciously slain by the agents of a
secret Chinese cult; young women disappear quietly and suddenly; in
the depths below, the rankest sewers are infested by giant, deadly
abominations. The Doctor, helped only by the local pathologist
Professor Litefoot and the cowardly Henry Jago, finds himself
battling for his life against the hideously deformed Magnus Greel,
who pretends to be the ancient Chinese God, Weng-Chiang. But Greel
is not the only menace; the Doctor must also deal with the
illusionist Li H'sen Chang and the murderous dwarf Mr Sin before
Leela falls prey to the Talons of Weng-Chiang.
The Caves Of Androzani: Captured for arms-running
on the mining planet of Androzani Minor, the Doctor and Peri are
under sentence of death. Then a mysterious masked intruder comes to
their aid. But is Sharaz Jek, master android creator, really their
saviour? The rulers of the planet are certainly desperate for his
head. Then again, he does control the only supply of Spectrox and
it is this substance which men are prepared to die for...
Doctor Who: The Movie: It is December 31st, 1999.
But will the World survive to see the 21st Century? Deep in the
heart of San Francisco's Chinatown, a young boy is about to lose
his life in a hail of bullets. But the gunfire finds a different
target - a stranger who steps out of a British Police Box. Dr Grace
Holloway does all she can but cannot save him or understand the
mysteries that surround him. Who is this unknown traveller with two
hearts? Why has his body disappeared? And who is the madman who
appeals for help; claiming to be both the dead man and a time
traveller known only as the Doctor? Elsewhere in San Francisco,
another time traveller is on the verge of death. For the Master,
the Doctor's oldest adversary, survival entails taking over the
Doctor's newly-regenerated body. Meddling with the heart of the
Doctor's TARDIS he condemns the Earth to destruction at the stroke
of midnight, December 31st. As the crowds prepare to celebrate the
Millennium, Grace is caught in a desperate race against time to
help save the Doctor - and mankind...
