The Ice Warriors are the Doctor’s enemy in The Curse of the Peladon written by British author Brian Hayles and adapted for CD audiobook. Worzel Gummidge star Jon Pertwee plays the role of the quirky third Doctor as the TARDIS transports him to the planet of Peladon, where a deadly storm has thrashed the place beyond all recognition.

 Peladon was soon to become part of the highly acclaimed Galactic Federation but the dangerous storm may cost it its place. The Doctor arrives on the planet with Jo where the adventurous twosome is mistaken for delegates from Earth.

They soon learn that politics on the planet are in turmoil as a dead chancellor, an opposing high priest, two Ice Warriors, a half-automaton Arcturus and a hermaphrodite hexapod Alpha Centauri all get involved in the action! They apply logic and reasoning to counteract the superstitions and myths that surround Peladon in order to find a common ground between the adversaries but the so-called Curse of Peladon looks set to strike again…

Will a royal beast known as Aggedor save the planet and who is the double-crossing Judas in the group of delegates? The Doctor must work quickly with Jo to work out just what is going on but staying alive is proving to be just as hard as finding peace on Peladon…
