Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
to be added
Cast[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Doctor - Christopher Eccleston
- Pal Andrews - Simon Shepherd
- Dr Lenni Fisk - Thalissa Teixeira
- Kenton - Pip Torrens
- Jeanie / System - Amy Manson
Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- 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]
Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- At one point the Doctor expresses regret that he no longer has his umbrella, most likely a reference to the umbrella most famously carried by his seventh incarnation.
- The Doctor promises to take Lenni's son to meet the "real Santa". The Doctor mentioned Lapland as one of his recent "many" Christmasses during a conversation with Mandy Litherland. (AUDIO: Auld Lang Syne)
- In his twelfth incarnation, the Doctor will meet Santa Claus once again. (TV: Last Christmas)
- The Eleventh Doctor once claimed he was good friends with Santa and that his real name was Jeff. (TV: A Christmas Carol)
- Jack Frost states that he has a face in every snowflake. This is similar to the Great Intelligence, who used sentient snow to monitor and murder people in 1892. (TV: The Snowmen)
- Before murdering two members of the crew, Frost takes a liking to a paper Christmas crown. In his tenth incarnation, the Doctor will wear Christmas crowns with Rose Tyler's family following the Sycorax Invasion. (TV: The Christmas Invasion)
