Yeti (The Five Doctors)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
A Yeti was time scooped to the Death Zone on Gallifrey. The Second Doctor and the Brigadier, who were no strangers to the Yetis, discovered it in a cave, (TV: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"]) the Brigadier being reminded of "when the shaggy robotbeasts had terrorised London". (PROSE: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (novelisation)"])
It chased the Doctor and the Brigadier through the cave until they managed to get through a narrow crevice. The Doctor maddened it with fireworks and the resulting rock fall prevented any further interaction with it. (TV: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"])
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- It is not clear whether this Yeti was a robot of the sort controlled by the Great Intelligence or an actual Tibetan Yeti.
- The Yeti was played by Lee Woods[1], who remained uncredited both on-screen and in Radio Times.
- The Yeti costume was an original from the 1960s, which had been found in a BBC storeroom. A new pair of feet had to be made, as only one of the originals had survived.
