FREE: VHS DR.WHO--THE CLAWS OF AXOS. VIBRANT! IN CLOSE TO NEW CONDITION

The listing, VHS DR.WHO--THE CLAWS OF AXOS. VIBRANT! IN CLOSE TO NEW CONDITION has ended.

Doctor Who really grew up during the Jon Pertwee era. The gray space stations necessitated by monochrome television were no more. The advent of color television opened up a new direction for the program, and nowhere is this direcetion more evident than Claws of Axos. The producers of Doctor Who had a new toy, and they intended to use it! Incidentally, the first ever sight of blood in Doctor Who history occurred in the very first story of this era, Spearhead From Space. In this story, Axos is a fantastic sight to behold, very psychedelic in an era known for its psyechedelic elements, the early 70s. Colors and effects abound and put to great use. The sequence of the Doctor and Jo escaping from a disoriented Axos is one of the best moments in Doctor Who history, marred only perhaps by the screaming of Katy Manning. No wonder the Doctor slaps her. "SHUT UP! You are ruining a great sequence." Well, that's not exactly what he said, however I wouldn't doubt if that was what he was thinking.

The music in Axos is quite eerie as well. That signature tune when the Master first appears on screen sends a chill down the spine. Speaking of the Master, Claws of Axos is notable because it is the only DVD release to date of any story involving the original Master. As usual, Roger Delgado shines as the sinister evil Timelord, the true Master, not the mustache-twirling, HEH HEH HEH villain of Anthony Ainley's version. When Roger Delgado's unfortunate and untimely death occurred in 1973, that should have been the end of the Master as well. They should have never brought him back. Nothing against Anthony Ainley as an actor, but no one could play the Master quite like Roger Delgado.

Also, pay close attention to the dialogue and you will catch the first instance of cussing in Doctor Who, albeit very light. However this was still a children's show..'OBSCURE IN THIS GREAT CONDITION!!
