The producer of the show, Marcus Wilson, recently revealed on the
Doctor Who Magazine that we will see two classic monsters returning on the next season of the show. One of them may be the Daleks or the Cybermen, but we all wonder what the other monster will be. According to the user
The Doctors Trainers in the
Gallifrey Base Forum, one of the two monsters will be the Yeti and their controller, the Great Intelligence, which appeared in several episodes of the second Doctor, Patrick Troughton, in the 1960s.
Hello everyone
Long time no post I know. Yes, River is v likely to be back next series. Pretty much a done deal. Also back is a classic series monster in the form of the Yeti.
Here's a brief description on the Yeti:
The Yeti of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, although resembling the cryptozoological creatures also called the Yeti, are in actuality alien robots. Their external appearance, that of a huge hairy biped, disguises a small spherical mechanism that provides its motive power. The Yeti serve the Great Intelligence, a disembodied entity from another dimension, which tried to form a physical body in order to conquer the Earth. The Yeti are initially a ruse to scare off curiosity seekers, and later form an army serving the Great Intelligence.
The Great Intelligence and its Yeti minions were thwarted twice by the Doctor's second incarnation, played by Patrick Troughton, in the serials The Abominable Snowmen and The Web of Fear. A Yeti was also one of the creatures in the Death Zone featured in The Five Doctors.
