Starring Jon Pertwee Nicholas Courtney Roger Delgado Katy Manning Richard Franklin John Levene Peter Bathurst Paul Grist Donald Hewlett David Savile Derek Ware Bernard Holley Michael Walker David G. March Fernanda Marlowe Tim Pigott-Smith Keith Brenda Royston Farrell Patricia Gordino John Hicks Debbie Lee London Written by Bob Baker Dave Martin Produced by Barry Letts Directed by board their ship? And why is the Doctor's old enemy the Master involved? Background The Claws of Axos is found in the middle of Jon Pertwee's second series as the Third Doctor. Typical of this Earth-based era of Doctor Who, the planet is once again invaded by aliens and it's up to the Doctor, Jo Grant and the rest of the UNIT 'family' to stop them. Also, as well as being troubled by the Axon threat, the Doctor has to contend with his new best enemy, the Master, who turns up in every story that year. The script is the first of many contributions to Doctor Who by writers Bob Baker and Dave Martin. Their original storyline, called The Gift, was written for Patrick Troughton's Doctor. It involved an alien invasion in London's Hyde Park, a giant skull for a spaceship, Battersea Power Station, and a cliffhanger featuring a giant carrot. While the production team liked many of the basic ideas, it was apparent that the story would go way over budget. A new scaled-back script (and unfortunately minus the carrot) eventually became The Claws of Axos. Now set outside London, location filming took place against the eerie beauty of Dungeness in Kent where unusual weather conditions required new dialogue to be included in the script. The Axons are a memorable and iconic Doctor Who monster but would never return to fight the Doctor again. However, a resprayed and modified axon monster suit would appear a few years later - when it became the Krynoid for The Seeds of Doom.
