Beware of aliens bearing gifts!,
This review is from: Doctor Who and the Claws of Axos (Paperback)
This story was the first script produced from the pens of Bob Baker and Dave Martin, who went on to create K9 many years later. It is adapted by Doctor Who's script editor of the time, Terrance Dicks.In many respects, 'The Claws of Axos' is an archetypal third Doctor and UNIT story. It contains all the classic elements: a possible threat which turns out to be more than meets the eye, officials who cause more harm than good due to their own self-importance, the stalwarts UNIT troops disarmed by the regular army, and the Doctor several steps ahead of everyone. The substantial difference from this standard story is that the aliens, the Axons, offer humanity a gift - the miracle element, Axonite, which could help solve humanity's problems. Not bad, but also not particularly good. Possibly more enjoyable as a video. |
