My first Dr. Who experience. "The Claws Of Axos"
I was 7 years old when I caught the final episode of "Axos". As a kid I loved monster movies and anything related to. I was introduced to this marvelous british import that aired on public television at 10:00pm. Unfortunately, I never got see any more as my mom had banned me from watching monster movies and tv for awhile. {they were giving me nightmares despite the fact that I loved them) I eventually got back to watching Dr.Who during the Tom Baker era, but that's another story. It was great to watch this serial in it's entirety, I would rank it as a classic. A blened of all the things that made this series great, well paced storytelling, Solid acting, and most of all spaghetti monsters! I've always heard Sci-Fi critics downplayed the show for the limited sfx, but I always felt they added to the shows novelty. I love the news series, but don't call yourself a who fan until you've gotten a taste of the classic series. One of the best of The Pertwee era, "The Claws Of Axos" will always be near and dear to my heart.
