In early [[February]], the presence of a [[Hyban]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Frozen (short story)}}) and [[The Cinder|a Phoenix egg]] in [[London]] resulted in a major drop in temperature that froze the surface of the [[River Thames]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Frostfire (audio story)}}) The people of London saw the freezing over of the Thames as a time for celebration and a [[frost fair]] was held. Between [[Blackfriars Bridge]] and [[London Bridge]], the river was "crowded with [[stall]]s selling [[food]] and [[drink]], [[clown]]s [[juggling]] burning [[baton]]s, [[animal]]s performing tricks, kids playing [[skittles]], and hundreds of cold but happy people chattering, laughing, and [[skating]] to and fro".

On [[4 February]], the [[Twelfth Doctor]] and [[Bill Potts]] came to the frost fair directly after leaving [[Planet (Smile)|a human colony planet]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Smile (TV story)}}, {{cs|Thin Ice (TV story)}}) They discovered that Sutcliffe was profiting off of the deaths caused by the alien fish beneath the ice and that he was planning on using explosives to crack open the ice and feed everybody attending the fair to the fish. The Doctor moved the explosives so that they broke the chains keeping the fish in the Thames and the fish escaped, destroying the ice covering the Thames as it left. Sutcliffe was killed during the breaking of the Thames and the Doctor and Bill arranged for his house to be given to a few orphans. The Doctor later speculated that the reason the fish's appearance wasn't recorded in the history books was because there was a lot of street drinking going on at the time.
