Since 1990 he worked at the University of Glamorgan where he was a Senior Lecturer in Cultural and Media Studies and the social sciences.Russell Minton, Executive Producer of The Abominable Snowmen, spoke about the project, saying, “We’re delighted to announce Doctor Who: The Abominable Snowmen, something Doctor Who fans have been waiting patiently for over the years. Having last been there three hundred years ago, he is astonished to find the community of monks and lamas divided by conflict. The release gives fans the opportunity to enjoy the six new fully animated presentations of this lost classic, which will be released alongside the one surviving segment episode two. Doctor Who: The Abominable Snowmen is a six-part story based on audio recordings of the original episodes. However, audio-only recordings of all the episodes have survived and have been used here to create six brand new fully animated presentations of this lost classic, alongside the one surviving segment, Episode Two.

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. This helps unify the various textures and designs, a pleasure after the spaceship interior in Galaxy 4, which seemed to me decorated by an explosion in an MFI showroom. This newly animated version of The Abominable Snowmen, the work of Gary Russell and the team at Big Finish Creative, is well served, with atmospheric landscape paintings and excellent character designs, and is the first adaptation to persuade me to watch in black and white. We’re delighted to announce Doctor Who: The Abominable Snowmen, something Doctor Who fans have been waiting patiently for over the years.Furthermore, the Doctor discovers that his friend the High Lama is still alive, his ancient body under the influence of an apparently unearthly force. 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. The story may be a little plodding in places, but the chemistry between Patrick Troughton, Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling is undeniable, the Yeti are lots of fun, the Great Intelligence very creepy and this animation is a more-than-welcome addition to any fans’ collection.
