Ice Time was a story that was to have been a part of Season 27, had Doctor Who continued to be produced beyond Survival, written by Marc Platt.
This was to have been Ace's final story with the program. The story was to have been a four part story featuring two rival factions of Ice Warriors battling in 1960s London. The setting at first was to have been a terraformed Mars, but Andrew Cartmel requested it be changed to 1960s London. [1]
Ideas that Platt had proposed included the use of hippies, a more mystical bent to the Ice Warriors, and a mind-controlled biker gang with helmets resembling that of the Warrior's. Due to John Nathan-Turner wanting to use the London Dungeon tourist attraction as a location, it was going to revealed that one of the exhibitions there was an Ice Warrior's armour. [2]
