Frozen Time (audio story)

 was the ninety-eighth monthly Doctor Who audio release produced by Big Finish Productions. This was the second solo Seventh Doctor story to feature him travelling without any companions. This is the first time the Seventh Doctor and Ice Warriors have appeared in an audio together, although not the first time chronologically for the Seventh Doctor to encounter them in an audio medium, Thin Ice was the first chronological encounter between the Ice Warriors and the Seventh Doctor.

Publisher's summary
In 1929, Lord Barset's expedition to the Antarctic is lost without trace. Or so it seems...

Nearly a century later, his grandson funds a much-publicised return to the icy wastes. His mission: to discover what happened to the original expedition. But what he finds instead is an enigma – a battered London police box frozen in ice millennia old.

But something else lies in wait in this awful place, something from an era before humankind set foot on the continent's cold soil. A menace frozen in time.

Until now.

Cast

 * The Seventh Doctor - Sylvester McCoy
 * Lord Barset - Anthony Calf
 * Genevieve - Maryam d'Abo
 * Professor McIntyre - Tony Millan

 * Arakssor - Nicholas Briggs

Category:The Doctor

 * The Doctor mutters names of his previous companions Mel, Ace and Hex.
 * If the unspecified "millions of years," the comatose Doctor spends frozen in a block of ice are taken into account, the Doctor's age becomes entirely incalculable from this point onward, as does the age of his TARDIS.

Species

 * Lord Barset thinks he is searching for 'lizard men' or Silurians (Earth Reptiles).
 * The Antarctic actually holds a Martian prison facility for war criminals.

Continuity

 * The Doctor previously visited Antarctica towards the end of his first incarnation in December 1986 (DW: The Tenth Planet), in the 1970s during his fourth incarnation (DW: The Seeds of Death) and, earlier in his seventh incarnation, in 2006 (NA: Iceberg) and 2045 (BFA: The Word Lord).
 * The TARDIS would later be frozen in a similar manner in EDA: Time Zero.
 * With this story taken into account, there are at least six incarnations of the Doctor visiting 2012: the Sixth Doctor and/or one of his first five incarnations (BFA: The Raincloud Man), the Seventh Doctor on this occasion, the Eighth Doctor in Wiltshire (EDA: The Shadows of Avalon), the Ninth Doctor in Utah (DW: Dalek), the Tenth Doctor in London (DW: Fear Her) and the Eleventh Doctor (DW: Good as Gold). Both the Ninth and Tenth Doctors were accompanied by Rose Tyler.
 * The Sixth Doctor previously flew a helicopter in BFA: Blue Forgotten Planet.
 * The 2012 Olympic Games are mentioned. During his tenth incarnation, the Doctor would attend the games in the company of Rose Tyler (DW: Fear Her) whereas he would later do so once again during his eleventh incarnation in the company of Amy Pond (DW: Good as Gold). In the far future, radio and television broadcasts concerning the 2012 Olympic Games could be accessed via the Gogglebox inside the Moon. (BFA: The Reaping, BFA: The Gathering)
