"The claws of Axos are already embedded in the Earth's carcass."
I used to think it was around The Claws of Axos that the Pertwee era started to go downhill. However upon reviewing this (and having seen Colony in Space) I've changed my mind. The story itself is imaginative and original and the way it's realised is creative (especially the Axons in their various forms). But it has it's weak points (most notably Peter Bathurst's Mr Chin, possibly the most obnoxious character ever to appear in Doctor Who). It may not be brilliant but it's not too bad either. Maybe an average of what the Pertwee era was all about.
