"Lords of the Red Planet" is often considered as, "Genesis of the Ice Warriors," with the unfurling of their earliest origins. However, I think it's more than just an origin story. It's a well-told and sweeping epic that would easily fit into the league of the best Second Doctor stories that were produced for television.The characters are well-drawn: Quendril, the scientist who tried to use his own daughters to save his people and created a vain but beautiful daughter and another who became a vindictive dictator who hated her own people. The characters are some of the most compelling you'll find in Doctor Who. Nick Briggs does a great job playing the earliest Ice Warriors, but also providing some real depth to his performance as the first Ice Lord Aslor and Quendril's assistant Risor.The story manages to combine some great sci fi elements such as "The Life Drink" along with powerful emotional narratives, and thought provoking questions of the dangers of science gone too far and without ethical bounds. This story would have been hard to actually do any justice to on the small screen, but in the capable hands of Big Finish, it is an epic audio blockbuster.
