This is only a minor spoiler – if true, the BBC will likely announce something soon regardless. But if you’re concerned about this sort of thing, look away now!
Could the Ice Warriors be set to return in Series 9?
Kasterborous reader, Craig Turton has let us know about an odd incident at the Doctor Who Experience: the Ice Warrior, Skaldak from 2013’s Cold War has disappeared – replaced with a notice stating that the costume has been removed for use in filming!
This could be a simple mistake – maybe they’re just mistaken and it’s not being used for filming at all. But maybe there’s more to it than that. Craig went on to explain:
“About 18 months ago I was in a pub off Oxford Street and bumped into Mark Gatiss (shameless namedropping I know – we have a mutual acquaintance Steve Pemberton who he trained with at Bretton Hall). When I asked Mark what story he would ideally like to write in future, he replied that he’d always wanted to write a further Peladon story with the Ice Warriors. So, you never know.”
The Ice Warriors’ last appearances in Classic Who were the Third Doctor serials, The Curse of Peladon and The Monster of Peladon, the former of which taught the Doctor not to judge species so quickly – and the latter reinforced his belief that there was something corrupt at the heart of those reptilian Martians!
