1983, A Soviet Submarine is poised to launch a Nuclear attack, but they've discovered and released something buried deep in the ice.
Talk about acting heavy weights, Liam Cunningham, James Norton and David Warner, I can't think of many shows that would turn their noses up to having these three top quality actors.
I've given Gatiss lots of stick for some of his episodes, Victory of the Daleks had been awful, but Night Terrors had won me back, and this again was a big success.
The update on the design itself of the Ice Warrior was I thought superbly done, the suit itself and the beast inside, brilliantly realised.
There is a huge amount of tension from start to finish, it never lets up til the very end. The setting gives it a real feeling of claustrophobia, the confinement works well.
Who's the real villain of the piece Skaldak or Lieutenant Stepashin?
Is it me or are these episodes getting shorter? barely 40 minutes.
It was an excellent episode, with new concepts and new ideas. I liked that they decided to set in during the cold war (makes a change from the 1940's!) I think the Ice Warriors were brilliantly re- introduced, hopefully we get more of them one day. 8/10
