The Abominable Snowmen - Episode 6

Right, just one more episode to listen to before we get about two and a half weeks work of DVDs instead of audio. The problems that I have had with the story haven’t really been resolved as I would have expected this final episode to have picked up the pace but it still feels like its killing time. I must confess that there is more going on in this episode but as I’ve lost any goodwill for this story then I’m afraid that I just don’t see anything positive to write about this. Not even Patrick Troughton and Frazer Hines can help this from being a rather substandard story.

It’s quite good how at the very end Travers ends up seeing the Abominable Snowman that he’s been searching for. Of course it wont be the last time that we will see him and it wont be long before he returns because for some reason it was decided that this story worked so well that they deserved a sequel. Well maybe I have been harsh over the last six episodes but I have to say that without something to look at (apart from telesnaps) its difficult to get excited or even interested in a story.  Its not the worst story ever because as I may not have made clear there are things in this story that are worth getting excited about and its most in the first two episodes. At least now we get to some of the newly released stories on DVD. Oh I love that – DVD.
