An alien spaceship descends to Earth, time jumping a few seconds into the future to avoid a missile fired at it. The craft contains the Axons, a race of beautiful golden humanoids who offer a remarkable energy source called Axonite. The Doctor and Jo become suspicious, however, and discover that Axonite, the Axons and their ship are all a single organism, brought to Earth by the Master, which will feed on all life. The Doctor begins to behave strangely, and Jo wonders if he can outwit Axos and the Master – or does he intend to repair the TARDIS and abandon the Earth to its fate?
First Broadcast between the 13th March – 3rd April 1971
Starring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor alongside Katy Manning (Jo Grant), Nicholas Courtney (Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart) and Roger Delgado (The Master)

Everyone has their own favorite doctor….Despite Tom Baker being the only doctor I knew for years…John Pertwee became my favorite.I absolutely love the episodes with Unit more than any other…and the time when pertwee was finally allowed to roam the universe by the time lords,are also great episodes..
The lettering on the “Top Secret” folder gets the Peter Max treatment.
The Axons were taking out UNIT soldiers on site, but Sgt. Benton and Capt. Yates had plot armor in the UNIT vehicle.
57:35 the Axons deceived the Doctor!! that’s not a rapidly-aged Jo Grant- we know firsthand from linear experience that the majestic Josephine Grant Jones ages FAR more gracefully than this!! that ol lady looks rough but the *real* Jo Grant aged fabulously!!! ❤❤
Jon Pertwee and Anthony Ainley in The Five Doctors!!!A brilliant combination!!!It would have been fun to have Jon Pertwee, Anthony Ainley,and Katy Manning do a Doctor Who radio play!
who wouldnt mind a good time loop to back then till today. be a big seller.
40:09 I don’t know if he jumped, but that’s DEFINITELY Roger Delgado crawling up the truck roof while it drives under the bridge.
WOW!!!
I always loved Jon Pertwee’s “listen to me” line
