In the fourth episode of the six-part Doctor Who adventure "The Talons of Weng-Chiang," the Doctor (Tom Baker) has followed the bizarre trail of clues in a series of murders in Victorian London to the headquarters of Chinese Tong functionary Weng-Chiang (Michael Spice). It turns out that this worthy is actually Magnus Greel, a war criminal who has escaped from the 51st century. Weakened during his journey back in time, Greel requires the life-forces of young women to survive -- hence the murder spree. But why has Greel chosen to materialize at this particular time, in this particular location? Written by Robert Holmes, "The Talons of Weng-Chiang, Episode 4" originally aired on March 19, 1977. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Purdey (Joanna Lumley) heads to an obstacle-laden firing range in hopes of breaking Steed's (Patrick MacNee) perfect marksmanship record. Five of Steed's previous associates have attempted the same thing at the same range, have fallen short of a perfect score by a mere fraction--and have promptly died of poisoning. Unless Gambit (Gareth Hunt) can run the range and score 100%, Purdy will be Victim Number Six. Roy Boyd, the actor cast as Bradshaw, was a last-minute replacement for frequent Avengers guest star Frederick Jaeger), who caught a cold during filming and was "demoted" to a smaller part. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
