Weng-Chiang poses as a Chinese god but is actually a time traveller whose real name is Magnus Greel. Played by Michael Spice, A.V. Club reviewer Christopher Bahn the character saw inspiration from Gothic horror figures Jack the Ripper, Dracula and the Phantom of the Opera in the character.[5] is the former Minister of Justice of the 51st century Supreme Alliance, responsible for the deaths of 100,000 enemies of the state, and was known as "the Butcher of Brisbane".[6] He appears in the 1977 serial The Talons of Weng-Chiang. Greel fled to 19th century China by means of a time cabinet, taking The Peking Homunculus with him.[6] Consequences of Greel's time travel are explored in the spin-off Virgin Missing Adventures novel The Shadow of Weng-Chiang by David A. McIntee.[7] Greel is also mentioned in Simon A. Forward's Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Emotional Chemistry, which is partly set in the 51st century. Greel's days as The Minister of Justice are explored in the 2012 prequel audio story The Butcher of Brisbane.[8] |

Professor Zaroff | The Underwater Menace | "egotistical villain", "insane" and "unbalanced", who symbolizes one of "the great fears of modern humanity - the ego run amok", which "can dominate and destroy the weak willed (which would be most of the rest of us)".[4] He is fondly recalled by fans as one of the most over-the-top villains in the entire history of the programme. Particularly well remembered is his cry of "Nothing in the world can stop me now!"in a noticeable Austrian accent. Only two of the four episodes from this story survive, but the surviving material includes that infamous line.[9] |
