  • The Doctor notes that the creature goes by many names. On Ribos, he is known as the Bitter King. On Cacophony, he is known as the Cold Bringer. And on Earth, he is known as Jack Frost.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Despite being released after Auld Lang Syne, Tim Foley intended for Break the Ice to come before Auld Lang Syne. Both stories were being worked on at the same time by Foley, allowing him to place a reference for Break the Ice in the script for Auld Lang Syne.[1]
