| | She was brought in along with many other experts when a craft of distinctly alien origin crashed into the [[Big Ben]] clock tower in [[London]]. During the meeting, she sat next to fellow American General Schwartz and, contrary to the rest of her colleagues, was intrigued rather than disturbed by the Ninth Doctor's conclusion that the crash had been faked so as to draw out and assassinate the experts. Unfortunately, he was proven right when the aliens unmasked and identified themselves as the [[Slitheen family]] before electrocuting the experts via their ID cards, killing all except the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'' / ''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]'') |
| A fiery redhead in hair colour and temperament, Frost was a no-nonsense and efficient UNIT operative who had problems maintaining personal relationships.
| |
| | |
| In [[1980]], as a UNIT Captain, she met with [[Scalini]] at [[Pompeii]], where the Professor had discovered a [[the Doctor's TARDIS|police box]] buried in the ruins. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Fires of Vulcan]]'')
| |
| | |
| Working undercover, Frost investigated [[Stranks]], the owner of a night club suspected of selling a potent street drug called [[Mandrake]]. At the same time, the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] had been drawn to Earth by the alien energy structure known as the [[Mandragora Helix]]. It had contacted Stranks and used him to produce Mandrake, which sapped the will of its users and made them susceptible to the Helix's influence. The Doctor and Ace worked with Frost to thwart the Helix again. During the course of this venture, she received a field promotion to [[Colonel]].

| Investigating the crash of a [[World War II]] fighter plane with the [[Seventh Doctor]], Frost entered the mind of the dead pilot and discovered that the crash had been the result of a collision with a [[Q'Dhite]] ship which a local clerk, [[Alex Evening]] had turned into his own private, miniature world. The Doctor and Frost entered Evening's world with UNIT troops. They destroyed the illusion and sent Evening into an irreversible coma. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Evening's Empire (comic story)|Evening's Empire]]'')

| In a world where [[human]]s had a working relationship with the [[Silurian]]s, Frost was a member of [[URIC]], that world's equivalent to UNIT. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Final Genesis (comic story)|Final Genesis]]'')

| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| In [[2005 (releases)|2005]]'s ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'', one of the alien experts killed by the [[Slitheen]] in [[10 Downing Street]] is a woman wearing the uniform of a US Army Major with the nametag "FROST". In early drafts of the script, the character was named as "Muriel Frost"; however, this dialogue did not make it to the screen, so it is unclear whether this character is Muriel Frost or not. ([[DWMSE 11]])
