Frozen Time (audio story)

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-publicized 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.

Continuity

 * The TARDIS would later be frozen in a similar manner in EDA: Time Zero.
 * With this story taken into account, there are three incarnations of the Doctor visiting 2012: the Seventh Doctor on this occasion, the Ninth Doctor in Utah (DW: Dalek) and the Tenth Doctor in London (DW: Fear Her). Both the Ninth and Tenth Doctors were accompanied by Rose Tyler.
 * 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.
 * The Sixth Doctor previously flew a helicopter in BFA: Blue Forgotten Planet.
 * The 2012 Olympic Games are mentioned. (DW: Fear Her)
