From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Added notes detailing that the Ice Warriors' presence in the story was kept a secret to surprise people & that Nicholas Briggs asked his Arraksor performance to be pitched down by a semi-tone. Added references for them: Frozen Time Behind The Scenes extras for the first & BFX: The Bride Of Peladon for both.

* ''Frozen Time'' acts as a partial sequel to the events of the [[Audio Visuals (fan work)|Audio Visuals]] audio drama ''Endurance'', also written by and starring Briggs. It featured the exploits of the original 1929 Antarctic expedition, ranging from the ''Rochester'' crew's investigation of the missing expedition's base camp to the discovery and destruction of an advanced Silurian metropolis nestled beneath the ice. The obliteration of the city in the original story would seem to be the main reason Lord Barset was unable to uncover any trace of [[Lord Barset#The grandfather|his grandfather's]] lost working party. | * ''Frozen Time'' acts as a partial sequel to the events of the [[Audio Visuals (fan work)|Audio Visuals]] audio drama ''Endurance'', also written by and starring Briggs.

He elaborates that "heavy hints" were made that ''Frozen Time'' was "based on an old Audio Visuals story" & pre-publicity for it "made it clear" that it "was set in the Antarctic, features someone called 'Lord Barset' and was about an expedition that discovers something."<ref name=":1" /> | |||
