YMMV / Doctor Who S5 E3 "The Ice Warriors"

• Padding: The most common criticism of this serial is its slow pace and excessive length. Devoting a considerable amount of screen time to having Victoria escape only to be immediately recaptured is a particularly egregious example of padding.
• So Okay, It's Average: In fan polls and rankings, this story almost invariably lands somewhere in the middle. In a season of base-under-siege stories, this is perhaps the most generic of the lot. The consensus is that it competently executes the established formula without offering anything unique or original.
• Retroactive Recognition: Peter Sallis, best known in and outside the UK as the original voice of Wallace, plays the scientist Penley.
