The Mind Robber (TotT TV story): Difference between revisions

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
(Zoe's mentioning of the Ice Warriors refered to the wrong story as Zoe was not in The Ice Warriors, she was referring to The Seeds of Death. Jamie later mentioned The Events of the Ice Warriors along with Victoria's reaction to them. Zoe was not present in that story.)
