This Company does not however exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence. If these stories are anything to go by, the believers are always harbingers of horrible “furry beasties”, as Jamie says here. What should be a slow-burn, atmospheric story doesn’t quite manage to enthral in the same way as, say, Fury From the Deep.

One of the big surprises of revisiting Troughton’s time on Doctor Who is the way the show could slide into pantomime, particularly in some of the performances of the supporting cast, and there’s no doubt that the scenes that I found terrifying as a child now have a “look-out-behind-you” quality that comes with the series surfing the camp zeitgeist of the 1960s. We’re delighted to announce Doctor Who: The Abominable Snowmen, something Doctor Who fans have been waiting patiently for over the years. I particularly liked the bold “pen” line, delineating the characters’ silhouettes, and the clear line work (think TinTin in Tibet) that efficiently but precisely captures their costumes.A couple of surviving clips from Episode 4 are included, along with some 8mm colour films from actor Frazer Hines and director Gerald Blake, providing a unique glimpse behind the scenes. It’s difficult not to wonder if the full story – albeit in animated form – can hold up to its reputation, strengthened by its one surviving episode, an action figure set and an atmospheric Target novelisation by the late, great Terrance Dicks. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The Abominable Snowmen benefits from sincere performances from the cast and chillingly evil work from Wolfe Morris, as the voice of Master Padmasambhava, whose appearence resembles a cross between EC horror’s crypt keeper and the internet meme Wojak aka ‘the feels guy’. Sadly, Chris Chapman has recently announced that John C Hogan, the last of the Yeti actors from The Abominable Snowmen, who also played a Cyberman in Tomb of the Cybermen, has died.

The time travellers discover that the Yeti are all too prominent in the area--in fact they are set to kill anyone who threatens the plans of the disembodied Intelligence which they serve. On arriving however, the Doctor is treated as a villain – blamed for a series of brutal murders in the area. I laughed when the Doctor explained to his companions that they will receive a warm welcome at the monastery, only to find the reverse is true when he actually gets there. That said, some animation companies have reportedly said that the remaining, presumed missing, Doctor Who historical stories are too complex to be animated, because Doctor Who wasn’t meant to be animated.If you come across an infringement of BBC copyright

Doctor Who – The Abominable Snowmen DVD in very good condition in a SILVER CASE, the clear case has been replaced so it matched the rest of your collection. As ever, director Chris Chapman keeps the documentary focused on the people who made Doctor Who, rather than fans or simple facts, resulting in a warm, emotional film that takes Frazer Hines and presenter Toby Hadoke back to Snowdonia, where Snowmen was filmed. In the 17th century, an old Tibetan friend of the Doctor's reached out and touched the mind of an alien disembodied energy, known only as the Great Intelligence, giving it a conduit to Earth.
