History Trivia / DoctorWhoS5E3TheIceWarriors

* {{Blooper}}: The Ice Warriors have finally penetrated the base. They come in through the door in a fairly dramatic scene. One Ice Warrior, near the back, bangs his head on the doorframe. Another Ice Warrior sees this, ducks slightly as he enters to avoid this fate and then bangs his head anyway.
* CreatorsFavouriteEpisode: Director Derek Martinus named this as his favourite story, mainly because the cast was so strong.

* ThrowItIn: The script originally called for Varga and Zondal to block the Doctor's path when he enters their room, but Creator/PatrickTroughton ad-libbed him panically attempting to leave.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Brian Hayles envisioned the eponymous Ice Warriors as Viking-like cybernetic creatures, with high-tech instruments on their armour and helmets. This was changed as the original concept was felt to be too similar to the Cybermen.

* MissingEpisode: This story is largely intact, with only episodes two and three (of six) missing (this is because the four episodes we have were accidentally left in an old filing cabinet and forgotten about). Until the return of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E4TheEnemyOfTheWorld "The Enemy of the World"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E5TheWebOfFear "The Web of Fear"]], it was the only story from Creator/PatrickTroughton's first two seasons that was anywhere near being complete, with the exception of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E1TheTombOfTheCybermen "The Tomb of the Cybermen"]]. In August 2013, the serial was released on DVD for the first time, with the missing episodes restored using animation.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Deborah Watling was unable to attend the complete recording of the final episode. Consequently, Victoria is asked (off-screen) to return to the TARDIS halfway through the episode. She was originally supposed to return to Brittanicus Base with him and appear in the final control room sequence. Jamie took on one of Victoria's lines as a result.
