 "Doctor Who: The Claws of Axos" is a four-part serial 
  from the Jon Pertwee era, originally broadcast in 1971. 
  Here's a review primarily based on the script provided on chakoteya.net: 
  
 Episode 1: The Doctor and UNIT encounter a mysterious spacecraft, 
 the Axonite, which offers to help humanity with its limitless energy 
 source. However, the true nature of the Axons 
 and their plan begins to unfold. The episode effectively 
 sets up the premise and introduces the main characters, 
 including the Doctor's companions and the enigmatic Axons. 
 The tension builds as the Doctor investigates 
 the true intentions of the alien visitors. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 2: The Doctor uncovers the Axons' plan 
 to drain the Earth's energy, and he must find a way to stop them. 
 Meanwhile, tensions rise among the human characters as they 
 struggle to deal with the crisis. The action sequences are engaging, 
 and the stakes feel higher as the threat of the Axons becomes 
 more apparent. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 3: The Doctor faces off against the Axons 
 and tries to prevent them from carrying out their plan. 
 The character dynamics are well-developed, and the moral 
 dilemmas faced by the characters add depth to the story. 
 The suspense continues to build as the Doctor gets closer 
 to uncovering the truth. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 4: The climax of the story sees the Doctor 
 and UNIT launching a final assault on the Axons and their spacecraft. 
 The resolution is satisfying, though some may find it slightly rushed. 
 The episode sets up future conflicts between the Doctor 
 and other alien threats, hinting at the ongoing struggle 
 to protect Earth. Rating: 7/10 
  
 Overall, "The Claws of Axos" is a solid Doctor Who serial 
 that delivers an entertaining and action-packed story. 
 Jon Pertwee delivers a charismatic performance as the Doctor, 
 and the dynamic between him and his companions adds 
 depth to the narrative. While some episodes suffer 
 from pacing issues, the overall experience is enjoyable 
 and sets the stage for future adventures. Overall Rating: 7.75/10
