The Earth is in the grip on another Ice age, man is attempting to survive, but struggling against the elements, The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria arrive at one of the control bases, just as an excavation team discover a giant being, frozen in the snow.
A good solid first episode, which has enough going on to hold your interest, the Earth's climate is out of control, food and shelter are a major issue, it seems the elements are winning. At the head of the team is Clent, being a big fan of Peter Barkworth I'm of course enjoy watching him here, he interacts very well with Trioghton. The companions are put to good use once again.
Another six part serial, and the creation of yet another menace we want to see featured in the returned show, the iconic Ice Warriors, although here, we only glimpse the Giant.
Very atmospheric, nice effects, it's a very good start. 8/10
