Quotes
====================================
Osgood: Who's there?
Fewsham: No one.
Osgood: Then how come the airlocks are in use?
"We're in a museum! A space museum!" ~ The Second Doctor
"Aye, well, we have our own system, thank you, only it isn't foolproof." ~ Jamie
"You're wrong. There is just one man, one man alone who can help us now." ~ Radnor
"What on Earth's that? It's a twentieth century Police Box, isn't it? How did a thing like that get in my museum? " ~ Eldred
"Rather more than a hobby, preparing an ion rocket for an unauthorised journey into space." ~ Radnor
Jamie: Could we not help them? We could use the Tardis.
Zoe: What, for a trip to the moon? We'd probably overshoot by a few million years.
Doctor: Yes, or by a few million miles. I'm afraid the Tardis is not suited to short-range travel.
"I think I could get your rocket to the moon. I have considerable experience in space travel, and so have my two companions." ~ The Second Doctor
"If that rocket is going to reach the moon safely, you'll need more than help. You'll need a miracle." ~ Eldred
The 2nd Doctor: Now don't worry, Miss Kelly. We're going to be perfectly all right.
Kelly: But how can you be sure? You don't even know what the trouble is up there.
"We do not need an army. Earth will be ours for the taking, very soon." ~ Slaar
"I never thought I'd see that again. A rocket rising in flight." ~ Radnor
"Oh, no. This is worse than the Tardis." ~ Jamie
"At our present rate of drift and allowing for the usual gravitational influences, we'll be drawn into the heart of the sun in approximately five months and ten days." ~ Zoe
The 2nd Doctor: What is your emergency? What's happening on Moonbase?
Phipps [OC]: We've been invaded. Aliens have taken over.
"Yes, yes. Jamie and I have met them before. They come from the planet Mars. Mars is a dying planet. I imagine they're trying to find a new home." ~ The Second Doctor
"If you're going to invade the Earth, you'll be fighting the armed forces of the entire world. You'll never succeed. There'll be too much resistance." ~ Gia Kelly
Jamie: That was the Doctor. He's found Phipps and he wants us to prepare the rocket for take off while they put T-Mat out of action.
Zoe: But he can't! I've just checked the main power drive and the rocket's motors are completely useless. The only way back to Earth is by T-Mat.
"But I can be useful to you, like Fewsham. Your leader will be angry if you kill me. I'm a genius." ~ The Second Doctor
Elred: Some plants reproduce that way. Their pods explode and spread their seeds.
Radnor: All this thing spread was some kind of smoke.
Elred: Which has now been dispelled into the air of London.
"Obviously what killed him was that smoke-like substance which was emitted when the pods exploded, which was expelled into the outside atmosphere. Let's hope that diluted with air it loses it's toxic quality, otherwise..." ~ Eldred
"You dispatched the seeds. In so doing you destroyed your entire species. What is the death of one man compared to that?" ~ Slaar
"Well, can't you see it's all part of the same plan. First the seed pods and now this creature. I tell you it came here for some purpose, and heaven help anyone who gets in its way." ~ Eldred
"Oh yes, I'm fine. I've seen most of my friends killed. I'm being hunted by monsters." ~ Phipps
"A molecule of five atoms absorbs oxygen. You know, a complete blanket of this would reduce the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere quite drastically. It would make the atmosphere of the Earth uninhabitable to the human race, but exactly like the atmosphere of Mars." ~ The Second Doctor
"Well, get in touch with Commander Radnor and ask him to get hold of the Weather Control Bureau people and to make rain. As much rain as possible over the entire country." ~ The Second Doctor
"Oh, my word. Oh, that was a dangerous situation!" ~ The Second Doctor
Eldred: Just one thing, Miss Kelly. Now that you've perfected this thing, how do you propose getting it to the launching pad without T-Mat?
Kelly: It just so happens I found a petrol car in a motor museum.
Eldred: Really? What make?
Kelly: I've no idea, but it's got four wheels and it goes.
"There isn't going to be a right one. There's only going to be ours, the wrong one, and that's going to lead the entire Martian fleet into an orbit around the sun." ~ The Second Doctor
"There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip." ~ The Second Doctor
"Look, either the Doctor's all right, in which case we've no need to worry, or he's in danger and he needs my help." ~ Jamie
Slaar: You have destroyed our entire fleet!
The 2nd Doctor: You tried to destroy an entire world.
"Oh, it's no good asking him. He's no more idea than the man in the moon." ~ Jaime

Trivia
====================================
The opening titles are backdropped with a scene of the Earth and Moon. The camera pans across the foreground object then zooms into the background object - Earth or Moon - on which the episode begins. The exception is in Episode 3 where the panning stops between the Earth and the Moon, as this episode begins in cislunar space.
This is the only story to feature the Ice Warriors in a location setting.
To keep the return of the Ice Warriors a surprise, Steve Peters was credited as 'Alien' in Radio Times for Episode 1.
At the time it was written, Frazer Hines was considering leaving the show. He finally signed on for the season, apparently at Patrick Troughton's request. This meant Brian Hayles had trouble writing the script, a problem made worse when he was asked to leave the Doctor out of part four. He failed to complete the script and Terrance Dicks rewrote much of the story. He brought in the Martian fleet and removed a sub-plot in which Gia Kelly was hypnotized.
By the 23rd century, humanity believed that the last of the Ice Warriors were killed when their invasion fleet spiraled into the Sun. A documentary on the incident was produced and broadcast on the History Channel.
