#038 - The Abominable Snowmen - A NEW(ish) ANIMATION?!

Listen on

Episode notes

It might be the 2nd January but we aren't done celebrating the new year and in the absence of a New Year Special this year, we are taking a step back in time and watching an episode that we missed, The Abominable Snowmen. Newly animated back in September 2022 by the same team that made Galaxy 4's animated reconstruction, so does it suffer from the same issues that animation had? 

How about the story it self? When the 2nd Doctor (Patrick Troughton) lands in Tebit he wants to visit an old friend at a Buddhist monastery, but everything isn't what it seems, surrounded by 'yeti' the Tardis team have to try to workout what is going on and save the planet from the Great Intelligence. So is the story just abominable by name, or is it by nature. Will it become victim to the 6 part curse or will the mystery make it thrive.

Join James and Owen as they take a deep dive into Doctor Who’s past, starting from the very beginning. Cheap sets, grumpy old men, unhealthily dedicated teachers, and so much more lie in wait. So, join us as we go deep Into The Black Archive every Monday at 8PM!
