Dr Terrible's House of Horrible [Season 1, Episode 2
]
. .
Dr Terrible [Steve Coogan] introduces us to the tale of Nathan Blaze [also Steve Coogan], gentleman inventor and adventurer. Set in London, 1910, the story concerns Blaze's conflict with his arch-enemy, the evil Chinaman Hang Man Chang. This is a nice parody of the Fu Manchu movies. One character is named Sergeant Rohmer in reference to Fu Manchu's original creator, Sax Rohmer . . .
Dr Donald Baxter, a mad Victorian Scotsman, searches for a cure for the common burn. As with many Hammer Horror medical scientists, this involves injecting people with strange serums. . . |
