Katy Manning Movies
Very well-known for her performance as Jo Grant during Jon Pertwee's run on Doctor Who, Katy Manning later caused a sensation when posing nude with a Dalek from that series, for a series of photographs that have since been widely bootlegged. Manning appeared in several movies, though she tends to stick more to stage and television work. She lived for a time in Australia, but eventually moved to the United States. She has very much been in demand for science fiction convention appearances. ~ Steven E. McDonald, All Movie Guide- 1971
In the third episode of the four-part story "Terror of the Autons," the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) comes face to face with his old enemy, the renegade Time Lord known as the Master (Roger Delgado). Relishing the moment, the Master gleefully reveals his scheme to reawaken the Nestene Consciousness (the antagonist of the previous season's adventure "Spearhead From Space") and thereby take over the world. Knowing that the Master is savvy to his arsenal of Time Lord trickery, the Doctor must rely upon other methods to save Mankind. Written by Robert Holmes, "Terror of the Autons, Episode 3" originally aired on January 16, 1971. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the second episode of the four-part story "Terror of the Autons," the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) continues his investigation of the disappearance of the last Nestene Intelligence Energy Sphere.

That guard intensifies when the hero is warned that his arch rival Time Lord, the Master, has arrived on earth. Roger Delgado makes the first of many appearances as the redoubtable Master.

On May 22, 1971, Doctor Who began the final adventure of its eighth season, the five-part "The Daemons." The story opens in the British village of Devil's End, where a TV crew is providing live coverage of an archeological excavation. The smoothness of the operation is disrupted by the superstitious nature of the locals and the interference of a hostile "black magic" cult. Watching this event unfold on his "telly," the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) is intrigued by the portents of doom surrounding the excavation and before long, he and his friend, Jo Grant (Katy Manning), have arrived in Devil's End -- and, though he doesn't yet know it, for another battle royal with his old enemy, the Master (Roger Delgado). Barry Letts and Robert Sloman co-wrote "The Daemons." This adventure, long available only in a black-and-white version, was restored to its original color in the late '90s. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the conclusion of the four-part story "The Claws of Axos," the Doctor successfully tricks the Axons into outwitting themselves. At the very least, this will save the earth's nourishment from being totally depleted. But the Doctor is less successful in capturing his elusive rival, the Master (Roger Delgado) -- nor can he persuade Mankind to stop behaving so foolishly as to allow such characters as the Axons and the Master to perpetrate their mischief. First telecast March 20, 1971, "The Claws of Axos, Episode 3" was written by Bob Baker and David Martin. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Unfortunately, the Doctor may not be able to rescue the citizens of earth from their worst enemies -- themselves.

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.
