Product Information

As far as I’m aware bbc america don’t have anything to do with the dvds so dvd sales isn’t a factor. This Company will not accept any responsibility for any loss or damage in whatever manner, howsoever caused, resulting from your disclosure to third parties of personal information. On arriving, the Doctor is blamed for a series of brutal murders in the area, however companions Jamie McCrimmon and Victoria Waterfield discover the true culprits – the previously peaceful Yeti that live in seclusion on the mountainside have apparently turned violent. But when he steps out of the TARDIS wearing a big, brown, furry overcoat, 20th-century monks mistake him for a murderous Yeti, and attack him!

The greatest issue is undoubtedly the pacing: it’s a fairly formulaic tale, featuring quite a bit of back-and-forth, with some slow and plodding dialogue scenes. We’re delighted to announce Doctor Who: The Abominable Snowmen, something Doctor Who fans have been waiting patiently for over the years. The Doctor and his companions soon realise that not only the monastery but the safety of the whole world is in peril. Perhaps this isn’t helped by the lack of any incidental music, not to mention that the animation inevitably lacks the nuance of the live-action performances. Various furry scrapes ensue, until the Doctor goes mind-on-mind with the cosmic horror controlling the robotic Yeti.A memorable instalment in Doctor Who‘s 1967-68 ‘monster season’, The Abominable Snowmen is an iconic story in the series’ history – despite five out of its six episodes having been missing for five decades. 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. 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.Thanks for the info Gordon, was just speculating so it’s nice to have a bit more background of the situation.

Its popularity extended to a direct sequel, The Web of Fear, as well as a trilogy of episodes in the Eleventh Doctor’s third season in 2012-13. A freelance journalist and Doctor Who fanzine editor since 1978, Tim Robins has written on comics, films, books and TV programmes for a wide range of publications including Starburst, Interzone, Primetime and TV Guide. 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. Jamie and Victoria meanwhile discover the true culprits - the previously peacful yeti that live in seclusion on the mountainside have apparently turned violent.Furthermore, the Doctor discovers that his friend the High Lama is still alive, his ancient body under the influence of an apparently unearthly force.

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. This is Doctor Who’s first on screen encounter with Buddhists, the second being 1974’s Jon Pertwee’s send-off, Planet of the Spiders.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.
