Dave, this is just complete bullshit. Can€€€t you at least READ the extruded
word salad you€€€re getting language models to issue and NOT post it when it
bears no relation to the story?
Points the article gets right:
The story is called The Ice Warriors.
The TARDIS team for this story was the Second Doctor, Jamie and Victoria.
Points the article gets wrong:
Absolutely everything else.
And even someone as dim as YOU, Dave, should have known that.
