Doctor Who: The Abominable Snowmen is a six-part story based on audio recordings of the original episodes. Most of the six-part adventure story was lost soon after the programme’s original transmission in 1967 and only the audio recordings of the episodes survived. in missing Doctor Who episodes.
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. 300 years later, the Doctor returns to the Himalayas to return the Holy Ganta, an ancient relic he was given many centuries ago by the grateful monks at Det-Sen Monastery.
On arriving however, the Doctor is treated as a villain – blamed for a series of brutal murders in the area. Jamie and Victoria meanwhile discover the true culprits – the previously peaceful Yeti that live in seclusion on the mountainside have apparently turned violent.
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. Their ancient Master, Padmasambhava, is being controlled by an alien entity known only as the Great Intelligence.

May 13th, 2022 - 8:01pmLast I heard from Gary back in April was the animation wasn’t finished and hopefully would be by the end of that month. But then it’s got to have the sound aligned and also commentaries recorded with the episodes.
Where did you hear it’s been delayed indefinitely?

March 11th, 2022 - 9:40amThe TARDIS has been spotted at the Nant Ffrancon pass today where they filmed The Abominable Snowmen in 1967. I think they must be filming the bluray extras.

January 29th, 2022 - 9:01amStorybin one online newspaper today’s claim there may be more missing episodes put there.
Someone claims there are 17 episodes in the middle East but not returned for political reasons.
Never know could be true, a hope.

January 29th, 2022 - 11:05amYeah. Apparently includes episode 1 and 2 of Marco Polo. Hopefully the BBC will reach out to the countries involved as they are aware of it.

February 10th, 2022 - 12:55pmDaz it’s apparently a story from one fan not anything official. Reading it it seems unlikely as most of the missing stories were not sent to the area.
