'Beyond War Games': 'Wrath of the Ice Warriors' (4 Parts) by Andrew Smith |
Plunged into the middle of a desperate mission by his new masters, the Doctor is delighted to be reunited with Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart of UNIT near Cape Wrath, Scotland. The Doctor’s arrival coincides with the sighting of black cylinders in the sky and an attack on a trawler by a ‘creature o’ the sea.’
The Doctor quickly realises he is dealing with Ice Warriors and investigates with the help of the Brigadier and local crofter Sheena Flynn. With a space fleet lurking in the vicinity of Jupiter, the Doctor believes the Martians are planning a new invasion of Earth – but who is the true enemy?
Battle lines are drawn and the Doctor races against time to prevent Earth being caught in the crossfire.
Michael Troughton (The Doctor), Jon Culshaw (Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart), Katy Manning (Lady Zelanda), Lucy Goldie (Sheena Flynn), Mark Elstob (Skaar / Tam Walsh / Dougie), Nicholas Briggs (Idnarl / Ice Warriors / Celestine), Emma Noakes (Raven)
Directed by Nicholas Briggs
Release Date:
February 2022
Notes:
*Featuring the Second Doctor and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart
*A Big Finish Audio Production
*Time-placing: In the audio story 'Jamie', the Doctor mentions Cape Wrath, implying that story occurs not long after the events of this one; given the multitude of stories with the Second Doctor travelling alone, I'm placing all his solo stories between the box set stories 'The Final Beginning' and 'Wrath of the Ice Warriors'
