Doctor Who - The Abominable Snowmen [DVD] [2022]

Product Information

Jamie (Frazer Hines) and Victoria (Deborah Watling) realise that someone is controlling the normally peaceful Yeti and driving them to violence. Various furry scrapes ensue, until the Doctor goes mind-on-mind with the cosmic horror controlling the robotic Yeti. Having last been there three hundred years ago, he is astonished to find the community of monks and lamas divided by conflict. While it is a shame to see this range of Doctor Who missing episode animations reach its end, as a fan I’m still incredibly pleased to have had the chance to watch these stories in full, and The Abominable Snowmen makes for a lovely finale.

Russell Minton, Executive Producer of The Abominable Snowmen, spoke about the project, saying, “We’re delighted to announce Doctor Who: The Abominable Snowmen, something Doctor Who fans have been waiting patiently for over the years.We also get to meet former school girl Alison Pageant, whose Dad took her seven-year-old-self to see the location filming. 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.

However, audio-only recordings of all the episodes have survived and have been used here to create six brand new fully animated presentations of this lost classic, as well as the one surviving segment, Episode Two. 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. The quality is as new superb not a flaw and my communication with the vendor I found to be polite , helpful , gave good advice and utmost friendly with excellent service skills . com is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646).The Doctor must convince the monks that not only is he not their enemy, but the real foe – and the power controlling the Yeti – is living amongst them. There may be enough budget to cover the two episodes of underwater menace but I’m doubtful it would stretch to say the four episodes of wheel in space. The animation is a step-up from Fury, although very much in the same style, and does a good job at reimagining the story’s visuals to look much more impressive. Their ancient Master, Padmasambhava, is being controlled by an alien entity known only as the Great Intelligence. In the 17th century, an old Tibetan friend of the Doctor's reached out and touched the mind of an alien disembodied energy, giving it a conduit to Earth.

Thanks for the info Gordon, was just speculating so it’s nice to have a bit more background of the situation.

Will usually dispatch within same working day if paid before 12:00 GMT (excludes weekends and holidays). We’re delighted to announce Doctor Who: The Abominable Snowmen, something Doctor Who fans have been waiting patiently for over the years. Jamie and Victoria meanwhile discover the true culprits –the previously peaceful Yeti that live in seclusion on the mountainside have apparently turned violent. Set in 1935, The Doctor (Patrick Troughton) and the “dream team” companions of Jamie (Frazer Hines) and Victoria (Deborah Watling) arrive in the Himalayas, where a Tibetan Monastery is under siege by the usually, we are repeatedly told, timid Yeti.

The Doctor must convince the monks that not only is he not their enemy, but the real foe - and the power controlling the Yeti - is living amongst them. There’s a wonderful moment when Hines sees the TARDIS on a hill, and dashes over to reunite with it fifty years later. All six episodes come to colorful, intergalactic life in brilliant animation based on the best, complete, audio-only recordings that survive. My copy is fine and I don’t think I’ve seen anybody else complain about it so I think it’s either your disc or possibly your player needing an firmware update (if it does updates) .

No attempt seems to have been made to make the Yeti look more formidable (thankfully they still look as cuddly and endearing as their TV counterparts), while Padmasambhava appears more skeletal and creepy.

I do wonder, however, if the animation producers also saved money, by not having to pay for recreating the original performers’ features? 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.
