Template:Nc 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]
This story would have also introduced Sam Tollinger, a friend of the Doctor's who would reappear in several stories, and through him lead directly in the next story; Crime of the Century.
Legacy
- The reason for Ace's departure was to have been that the Doctor wished to enrol her in the Prydon Academy on Gallifrey to become a Time Lord. Ideas like this turn up in WC: Death Comes to Time.
- In NA: Set Piece the Doctor mentions to Ace that he considered taking her to Gallifrey to learn to become a Time Lord.
- There was to have been a 'hippy character' living in a canal boat[1]. Both the setting and a character such as this appear in Marc Platt's RP: Downtime.
