An icy Patrick Troughton adventure is thawed out and given new life on DVD thanks to some animation of lost episodes. It’s the first appearance of a frozen menace that would fade away until reappearing in the current season of Doctor Who. The Tardis arrives on Earth at the time of a new ice age and the Doctor (Patrick Troughton), Jamie (Frazier Hines), and Victoria (Deborah Watling) make their way into a base where scientists commanded by Leader Clent (Peter Barkworth) are using an ionizer device to combat the advance of a glacier. A giant humanoid creature, termed an Ice Warrior by Arden (George Waring), one of the scientists, has been found buried in the glacier nearby.

The actor George Waring has died at the age of 84.

The actor portrayed the role of Arden in the Patrick Troughton adventure The Ice Warriors. Arden was a scientist whose team discover an "Ice Warrior" buried deep in a glacier, and ultimately becomes the Martians' first victim.

Born in Eccles, Lancashire, Waring made his career in theatre and then television, appearing in a number of notable roles in shows like Six Days of Justice and Mixed Blessings. However, he will be best remembered for the character of Arnold Swain in Coronation Street.
