'WEB' WEEK - DAY 5: ATTACK OF THE YETI!

Jamie, Captain Knight, Staff Sgt. Arnold and others are captured in the underground tunnels!

More formidable than ever, especially when manipulated by their unseen master in the Great Intelligence, and via an equally ethereal but just as dangerous traitor operating within the human's underground army base, the new-look robot Yeti of The Web of Fear are a fierce opponent against the human soldiers led by Captain Knight and the newly arrived Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart. 

Soon enough, the army are overwhelmed and annihilated, if not by the Yeti's overwhelming physical strength but their equally murderous web gun weaponry, in action sequences well-staged and shot in studio and on location by military-loving director Douglas Camfield...

The Yeti cement their human slaughter in an attack on Goodge Street.

The Yeti with the captured and now possessed Professor Travers.

Full credit too behind the scenes to director Camfield's choosing of the men inside the bulky Yeti costumes, bringing them to believable life across six episodes: John Levene, John Lord, Gordon Stothard, Colin Warman, Jeremy King, Roger Jacombs
