An icy Patrick Troughton adventure is thawed out and given new life on DVD thanks to some animation of lost episodes. It’s the first appearance of a frozen menace that would fade away until reappearing in the current season of Doctor Who. The Tardis arrives on Earth at the time of a new ice age and the Doctor (Patrick Troughton), Jamie (Frazier Hines), and Victoria (Deborah Watling) make their way into a base where scientists commanded by Leader Clent (Peter Barkworth) are using an ionizer device to combat the advance of a glacier. A giant humanoid creature, termed an Ice Warrior by Arden (George Waring), one of the scientists, has been found buried in the glacier nearby.
