In the season 5 episode 11 of Classic Doctor Who titled "The Ice Warriors", the Doctor and his companions Jamie and Victoria arrive on a future Earth where an ice age has descended upon the planet. They land near a base of the Britannicus Base in 3,000 AD and soon discover that the base is under threat from an alien race known as the Ice Warriors.
The Ice Warriors are a militaristic race who have been frozen in the ice for thousands of years. They have been accidentally woken up by the activities of the humans at the base and are now determined to take over the Earth and make it their new home planet. The Doctor soon learns of their plans and sets out to stop them.
The Doctor and his companions are aided by a group of scientists from the base, including the base commander Clent, who are trying to find a way to combat the Ice Warriors. They have developed a machine called a Ioniser, which they believe will be able to defrost the planet and restore it to its normal state. However, they soon realize that this will also wake up the rest of the frozen Ice Warriors who are still buried in the ice.
The Doctor decides to take matters into his own hands and tries to reason with the Ice Warriors. He learns that they are not entirely evil and have their own reasons for wanting to take over the planet. They are from a dying planet and need a new world to inhabit. The Doctor tries to find a way to peacefully resolve the situation, but the Ice Warriors are not easily convinced.
As tensions rise, the Doctor and his companions must find a way to stop the Ice Warriors before they destroy the base and take over the planet. They have to battle both the freezing cold and the powerful alien race. The Doctor uses his intelligence and his knowledge of science to come up with a plan to save everyone at the base and to stop the Ice Warriors from achieving their goal.
