This story topped the S24 DWAS poll.
In hindsight, it's hard to see how.
Only McCoy seems to make any effort to remember that Svartos is an ice planet and, as a result, looks like a fool when he is the only one slipping and sliding about!
Sophie Aldred is as nowhere near as natural in her acting in her first story as her famously unshaven bushes under each arm.
Peel is adequate but even he cannot cope with with the torturous infodumps required of him by the script.
Tony Selby returns as Glitz, but the cunning psychopath of the first four episodes of The Trial of a Timelord has gone, replaced by a "loveable" Cockney wideboy.
Apparently they tried to get Ronald Lacey who played the melting Nazi in Indiana Jones to play Kane.
They also tried to get David Jason to play Kane. Imagine Inspct. Frost/Dangermouse as a Doctor Who villain!
What was with the little girl that seemingly had the run of the place in Episode Three?
And what was she wearing?! It's a poofy...blue... thing.
