This serial aimed to build on the success of Season 5's 'The Ice Warriors, a serial that introduced the giant race from Mars.
I love Patrick and Frazer's humour, 'Look at the size of this one Doc,' and the glorious response, 'yes my word, that's a pretty large,' so funny.
Zoe's outfit is rather crazy, only in the 60s. PVC. Enough said.
Classic Series 6 is a real mix of good and bad, The Krotons and Space Pirates are very poor, The Invasion an War Games are both very good, I'd say overall The Ice Warriors rates somewhere in the middle.
Part 1 is a very interesting opener, there is lots going on. The identity of the Ice Warriors is guarded for a little while, to pretty good effect. It looks wonderfully space age, exactly what you'd expect from the 60s. The Ice Warriors are effective and prove to be a real threat. 7/10
