==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Doctor and Frobisher are heading for a holiday on the planet A-Lux but, when they arrive, they find that it’s far from the paradise they expected. Instead, the Ice Warriors who plan to turn it into a new Mars have transformed the planet into a snowy wasteland. Aided by Olla, a Dreilyn (a heat vampire), they manage to restore the planet to its correct temperature and the Ice Warriors are defeated. Frobisher, however, has decided enough is enough. He’s missing Peri and decides to part company with the Doctor permanently. The Doctor departs A-Lux in the TARDIS with Olla joining him as his new companion.
The [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Frobisher]] must stop the [[Ice Warrior]]s freezing the luxury planet [[A-Lux]]...
