The Ice Warriors | FULL EPISODES | Season 5 | Doctor Who: Classic

Earth's Ice Age Crisis

• ⚡ The Doctor quickly stabilizes the failing ioniser, demonstrating his scientific prowess to Clent's team.

The Ioniser Dilemma

• 💻 Clent's computer advises waiting for more data, fearing a nuclear explosion if the ioniser is used at full power against the alien reactor.
• 🤝 Penley, a brilliant but disillusioned scientist, returns to the base and, alongside the Doctor, argues for overriding the computer's cautious approach.
