plot synopsis
During the second ice age in the Earth's future, a computer is used at the Brittanicus Base; to keep the ice flows at bay. A towering alien warrior is excavated from the snow, thought to be long dead, but it slowly comes back to life. Varga's ship crash-landed in the ice centuries ago, and he is determined to revive his men, who are still frozen. He kidnaps Victoria when the TARDIS arrives, and the Doctor has to outwit him to get her back and stop Leader Clent at Brittanicus from using an ioniser to destroy the Martian ship...
