In the second episode of the four-part story "The Claws of Axos," the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) is not entirely trustful of the visitors from Axos, who have come to earth bearing a food-replenishing element called Axonite. As it turns out, the Doctor's insticts are right on target; in league with the Master (Roger Delgado), the aliens intend to strip the earth of its own nourishment -- and the dumb earthlings unwittingly cooperate every inch of the way. First telecast March 20, 1971, "The Claws of Axos, Episode 2" was written by Bob Baker and David Martin.
