In the distant future, Earth faces a new Ice Age. While a dedicated team of scientists struggle to keep the approaching glaciers at bay, a startling discovery is made deep beneath the ice… an alien warrior frozen for a millennia.

When the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria arrive, they soon discover Earth is under threat from the Ice Warriors – a fearsome warrior race intent on capturing the planet for themselves.

A classic Second Doctor adventure, The Ice Warriors has finally been completed with two beautifully animated episodes created by the Doctor Who restoration team.

      I found seeds of death a little boring, 6/10. and I agree with the 10/10 for this

    I am sooooo looking forward to watching this as the ice warriors were always a favourite monster of mine more plausible and believable than the daleks and alot scarier too

    There is no Terror of the Zygons forum yet, for which this comment would be better suited (happy for you to move it there when the time comes), but I always thought too much fuss was made of Broton… One of the other Zygons was far more terrifying and alien – the one which lurched at Sarah with an open mouth at the end of episode 1! This same Zygon made it onto the TyPhoo tea card of 1976, yet photos of it are very scarce. I am delighted to see their return, but somewhat disappointed the new Zygon seems to have been fashioned on Broton! 😀

      Staying on topic, when is footage of Tom Baker on Disneytime in full Who costume (screened in August 1975) likely to surface on DVD? The only clip which ever appears is of the end, when a hand passes the Doctor a note in the cinema – he says “It’s from the Brigadier – he’s in trouble again!” and runs up the stairs… but there were other clips between the various cartoons – I once saw a really ropey copy on YouTube -as it was shown just days before Terror of the Zygons, a perfect opportunity to have it as an Easter egg would be on this release!

    The cover has really been improved from the original (not the background just being one colour)

    Also can’t wait to see the animations of episodes 2&3!

      Looking forward to this too.

      After getting Invasion (which reminded me of the spy movie Ipcress File due to the fantastic music), can’t wait to see more animated episodes filling gaps – they did a great job with Invasion.

    This DVD looks brilliant! Probably the one I want the most from the Troughton era, even though I am not a fan of the black and white episodes.

    I am considering on buying Revisitations 1 and the Beneath The Surface box set. I don’t have any Classic DVDs (I used to have An Unearthly Child but I can’t find it!) so do you think those DVDs are good to start with?

      I have all three Revisitations box sets and recommend them to anyone. Good stories – from gritty sci fi in the Caves of Androzani to victorian gothic Talons of Weng Chiang, entertaining dvd extras, great value, plus you meet several Doctors.

      If you like Ice Warriors then you might like Revisitations 2 where they feature in The Seeds of Death.

      The Beneath the Surface box a fun choice, I just finished watching recently. Love the Sea Devils story, the Silurian story was entertaining. The Warriors of the Deep story was not as good but still fun.

    Any body else notice how miraculous it is that the ice warriors returned in series 7, just in time for the 2nd Dr ice warriors DVD release.

    The next classic DVD will be the 4th Dr’s terror of the Zygons and guess what, there back in the 50th anniversary episode.

    Yes Frazer Mines and VMS (VHS ) links. However I am so excited for this release. At an age where I have never seen the missing episodes any animations I find exciting and intriguing! The more the better!
