Today marks the 50th anniversary of the first appearance of the Ice Warriors in the aptly named The Ice Warriors. Feel free to share any memories of these scaly men from Mars My first introduction to the Ice Warriors was in The Seeds of Death, later followed by the two Peladon stories. They're among my favourite monsters in the whole series, likely due to the fact that The Seeds of Death was also one of my very first stories, and there's always a special place in your heart for you first stories It wasn't until the animated DVD release in 2013 that I finally saw their original adventure, having heard it over a dozen times on CD, and it didn't disappoint. I waited for years for them to be brought back in the New Series, and when they finally did in Cold War I will say I was disappointed - I didn't much care for the whole "What's under their helmet?" thing, and as that was the premise for the whole episode (and what we finally saw was terrible ), I've kind of ignored it. Empress of Mars, however, was a brilliant episode, and I hope it's not the last we see of them on TV
