This four-part Doctor Who adventure is motivated by the discovery of an ancient skull that seems to predate humankind by several million years.

Befriending police pathologist Prof. Lightfoot (Trevor Baxter), the Doctor tries to determine the connection between the murders, a deadly Chinese Tong faction called the Black Scorpion, and some mysterious tufts of rat hair. The trail leads to a prositution ring headed by Tong leader Weng-Chiang (Michael Spice) -- who, in typical Doctor Who fashion, is not precisely what he seems to be.

Another of Doctor Who's clever "labor vs. management" parables, "The Sun Makers, Episode 4" was written by Robert Holmes, and was first telecast on December 17, 1977. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
