The first Ice Warrior with whom the BBC attempted to shoot Doctor Who was an "early design" who, instead of an armored reptilian humanoid, appeared to be a huge, anthropomorphic ice lolly with a smiling face. The Ice Warrior did not appear to be a man in a costume, but was impractical to work with as it started to melt on set. (NOTVALID: Some BBC Special Effects That Weren't So Special)
