Product: Doctor Who [VHS] (1975)
Rating: 3.0
Nostalgic but a Bit Predictable
A large part of the episode is a power struggle between UNIT led by the Brigadier and another high ranking British official. The British official is too stereo typed and predictable in his motives. The intentions of Axos is also obvious very early on. As a result, this story doesn't build up a lot of tension but plays out as you might expect. Just too black and white for my tastes.The Axonite's appear in two forms. I rather like the costumes of their humanoid form. Very effective for a show on a budget.Jo's role in this is to run off on her own and get in trouble and then scream for help. The better Who stories would get the companion more involved.
