This week we re-examine that Doctor Who standard, ‘The Abominable Snowmen’, which with our typically exquisite timing, we recorded before the animation came out! Yay for us. But that doesn’t matter anymore, because as we now know, this story was made in the 1980s with Peter Davison, and is no longer missing!* So it’s time to search the TARDIS trunk for that unidentifiable object, establish that this definitely isn’t Heathrow and discuss the danger of the Pharos project. Join us as we play hide the ghanta, get pissed with JNT, and indulge in some slick bumbling, before setting off to catch a Yeti that we can skin and cook over a billabong. Whatever that is. There’s nothing about it in my British Home Stores Book of Space…

* May actually still be missing.
