Doctor Who: The Claws of Axos: Episode One (1971)
Season 8, Episode 11
7/10
Plenty of bold ideas.
5 February 2019
I hadn't watched this for years, not a story I have a particular fondness for, but I'm working my way through the classic episodes.

So far so good, I enjoyed this first episode, I love the direction, it looks terrific, I like the music, and rather like the story.

The ship looks great, the Axons look nice, plus the snow covered Dungeness looks suitably eerie, it's very atmospheric.

I am a little surprised to see The Master in yet another Pertwee story, he's lost a bit of threat, dare I suggest he was overused.

Good start. 7/10
