I admit, this kind of started off slow for me but once the Doctor showed up, it picked up a lot quicker. I liked how the story started in the middle of the Doctor's adventure, but from the perspective of the
people exploring Antarctica. I thought that Genevieve would have made a good permanent companion for the Doctor, but I also like these one-off characters that fill that competent companion role for just one story too. The whole thing felt paced really well and the Ice Warriors were used wonderfully. If it wasn't for the slow start, this would have been a full five stars. As it is, it's 4.5. Still very recommended.

Frozen Time revives the Ice Warriors for the first time in ages, and also the Seventh Doctor who appears to have been frozen in with a consignment of criminal Martians only to be unfrozen in a somewhat amnesiac state. The idea of the amnesiac Doctor is just as annoying when it is Seven compared to Eight, and the plot is really a retread of the original Ice Warriors story, but the cast is stellar - Bond girl Maryam d'Abo plays a French scientist, Nicholas Calf plays Lord Barset, doomed and deluded leader of the expedition. Some great scenes here, and generally good stuff.
Look, I get it. It's a third rate Second Doctor plot with the Seventh Doctor stuck in.
But boy do they write the Seventh Doctor well here! Sylv is delightful and handled with a light touch in a way that Big Finish doesn't always get right.
I'm a Seventh Doctor guy. If you're a Seventh Doctor guy, this is fun.
