SYPNOSIS
In Regency England, beneath the frozen Thames, something is stirring.
The Doctor and Bill arrive at the last of the great frost fairs, and find themselves investigating a string of impossible disappearances – people have been vanishing on the ice! Bill is about to discover that the past is more like her world than she expected, and that not all monsters come from outer space…
NOTES
Thin Ice was the third story of season ten.
The read-through for Thin Ice took place on 18 July 2016, and filming on the episode began on 1 August.
According to the short story The Frozen, in February 1814, the Hyban Masoon froze the Thames on arrival.
In Regency London, Bills voices her fear that she will be slaved due to the colourof her skin. Martha Jones voiced the same concern when she visited London of 1599 with the Tenth Doctor. (The Shakespeare Code)
Bill is concerned about the butterfly effect, also exactly like Martha in her first visit to London’s past. (The Shakespeare Code)
