But the Martian dynasties are more than history, and the Warriors are far from extinct. It's not for nothing that 'Deimos' is the ancient word for 'dread'...

Notes

  • This is the second Big Finish Eighth Doctor story be be named after one of Mars' moons. AUDIO: Phobos is the first.
  • The CD cover of this audio drama features an actual photograph of Deimos.
  • There are two versions of the CD cover for this audio drama; the version posted on Big Finish's website omits Tamsin's face, and some of the cast listed on the cover are different (including the omission of Niky Wardley and the inclusion of Susan Brown).
  • The story was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra on 11 January 2013.

Continuity

  • The Ice Lord Izdaal was the greatest Ice Warrior who ever lived in Martian society. His studies determined that Mars' atmosphere was no longer capable of keeping out radiation from space. This would eventually kill them all. He told the government that their turmoil was not over and with the evidence of sickening children, he declared that their world was no longer sustainable. He was ignored by his people. Lord Izdaal made the ultimate sacrifice. To prove himself right, he elected to step outside and face the Red Dawn, knowing he would die. His death led to his people coming to the same conclusion and they worked to survive, slowly becoming a conqueror race that took what they wanted from others. (AUDIO: Red Dawn)
  • During his second incarnation, the Doctor encountered the Ice Warriors for the first time on the Brittanicus Base during an Ice Age in the company of Jamie McCrimmon and Victoria Waterfield. (TV: The Ice Warriors)
  • The Doctor tells Tamsin that he witnessed the destruction of Mars' atmosphere million of years earlier. (AUDIO: The Judgement of Isskar)
  • Harold recalls seeing a documentary on the History Channel which stated that the last of the Ice Warriors were killed when their invasion fleet spiralled into the Sun in the late 21st century. The Doctor tells Tamsin, Professor Schooner and Grenville Gregson that he witnessed that event as well. (TV: The Seeds of Death)
  • Grenville refers to the "hippie holiday camp" on Phobos. The Doctor and Lucie Miller previously visited Lunar Park in 2589. (AUDIO: Phobos)
