Another of the Big Finish "missing stories", this one drastically expanded by Marc Platt from a note he did for Andrew Cartmel shortly before Old Who was cancelled. I find Platt's work a bit hit and miss, but this was a hit for me: the setting in Moscow in 1967, with the human side of Cold War relations between Britain and Russia colliding with Ice Warriors hunting a malevolent relic and also a plot line which I recognised from one of the later BBC webcast stories. There's a slightly dubious sfnal enhancement of the human reproductive process, and I also found the music occasionally intrusive and not a perfect match for the 60s setting (though an excuse for that is given in the commentary extras). Those points apart, it is so much better than last year's Sixth Doctor/Ice Warrior teamup, the dreadful Mission to Magnus, which should have stayed lost. Thin Ice was worth reviving. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Moscow 1967. The Doctor and Ace have arrived behind the Iron Curtain, and the Soviet Union is seeking a new weapon that will give it mastery in the Cold War. What is the secret of the Martian relics? Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

It feels churlish to be slamming Thin Ice for not being The Curse of Fenric (what else is!?), but when you’re selling your story on the basis of nostalgia, I expect you to deliver on it. Despite its cliché title, Thin Ice is an okay story, but 1988-89 gave us not a run of okay stories, but seven of the best Doctor Who stories ever made. And Silver Nemesis, but let’s not talk about that.
