The Claws of Axos

Written by Bob Baker and Dave Martin

"My dear Mister Chinn, if I could leave, I would, if only to get away from people like you. And your petty obsessions! England for the English! Good heavens, man!"

A mysterious object approaches Earth, alerting the Doctor and UNIT that they face another possible threat from outer space. Are the gold-skinned aliens who claim to bring great gifts to humanity as peaceful and benevolent as they first appear? And why is the Doctor's arch-enemy the Master on board their spaceship...?
