It is likely that the giant rat in [[TV]]: ''[[The Talons of Weng-Chiang (TV story)|The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]'' was inspired by a line in the [[Sherlock Holmes]] story ''The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire'' by Sir [[Arthur Conan Doyle]], in which Holmes alludes to "the giant rat of Sumatra, a story for which the world is not yet prepared". In ''Talons'', the Doctor dons a deerstalker and cape, and is assisted by a medical doctor whose housekeeper is named [[Hudson|Mrs Hudson]], all of which appear to allude to Conan Doyle's detective. | It is likely that the giant rat in [[TV]]: ''[[The Talons of Weng-Chiang (TV story)|The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]'' was inspired by a line in the [[Sherlock Holmes]] story ''The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire'' by Sir [[Arthur Conan Doyle]], in which Holmes alludes to "the giant rat of Sumatra, a story for which the world is not yet prepared".
