Plot
Paleontologist Kate Lloyd is invited by Dr. Sandor Halvorson to join his team who have found something extraordinary. Deep below the Arctic ice, they have found an alien spacecraft that has been there for perhaps 100,000 years. Not far from where the craft landed, they find the remains of the occupant. It's cut out of the ice and taken back to their camp but as the ice melts, the creature reanimates and not only begins to attack them but manages to infect them, with team members devolving into the alien creature.

Derek Jameson (born 29 November 1929, London) is a retired British tabloid journalist and broadcaster.
As a child, Jameson was evacuated from London in WW2. His career began in Fleet Street, as a messenger boy, before becoming managing editor of the Daily Mirror newspaper and editor of the Daily Express, Daily Star and News of the World.
He joined BBC Radio 2 in late 1985, sitting in for Jimmy Young, before taking over the breakfast show from Ken Bruce in March 1986, presenting it until December 1991. He then hosted the Monday to Thursday late-night show, along with his wife Ellen, until March 1997.
In 1988 he began presenting the BBC1 television show People. He was replaced in the second series by Chris Serle, Lucy Pilkington, Jenni Barnett and Frank Bruno.
Now retired from broadcasting, Jameson wrote a weekly column in the Brighton Argus until October 2000, and is an after-dinner speaker.
Jameson's cockney accent and abrasive persona caused Private Eye to refer to him as Sid Yobbo. In 1980 Jameson brought an action against the BBC over a sketch in the Radio 4 programme Week Ending which described him as an "East End boy made bad": Jameson lost the action when it came to court in 1984. The jury found the broadcast defamatory, but also fair comment and Jameson had to pay costs. After it was said on Radio 4 that Jameson was "so ignorant he thought erudite was a type of glue", he sued.
