A good episode which is well paced and a great script. First of all this episode features the return of the Ice Warriors who were last seen in 'The seeds of death'. The Ice Warriors are the complete opposite as to how we have seen them before. This time they show compassion and care as well as being quite innocent but because of the way it's written, it may seem pretty fake up until the end of episode 3. The episode is basically a murder mystery, which I personally love (which is why Unicorn and the Wasp is my favourite new who episode). It does the murder mystery well although at some points it can get a little confusing in the middle. The thing it does best is make the audience think it's the Ice Warriors but then it turns out to be (spoilers). My favourite part of the whole episode is the part at the beginning where the TARDIS falls down the cliff face. To think that it was a model, it just looks amazing and is so realistic. Another thing I really liked was the love story between Jo and the King, it was quite a development for Jo I thought. The only think I didn't like was the Alpha Centauri (the big green thing with an big eye), it looks kind of poor and the voice is just laughable. Overall a wonderful underrated gem hidden away in the middle of Pertwee's reign that's definitely worth a watch, with great acting, and set's.
