"content": "<p>The Yetis make their return (and the Brigadier his debut) in this six-parter from the spring of 1968. It's unusually complete for the era, with only episode three missing. The lost episode can be seen in an official BBC animation and a Loose Cannon fan reconstruction; I'm watching the Loose Cannon recon. Other episodes are my personal MKV remuxes from PAL DVDs. I've seen this one before.</p><p>This is a pretty straightforward story that lays the foundation of a lot of the Pertwee era: Earthbound, militaristic, alien threat, human scientists meddling with powers beyond their understanding or control. UNIT doesn't exist yet, but Lethbridge-Stewart (pre-promotion, so a colonel here) commanding a military force gives much the same dynamic. Unfortunately, his first appearance is in the missing third episode. This is his character's only appearance with the Second Doctor -- he mentions it to the Third in Spearhead From Space.</p><p>Instead of corridors, we get subway tunnels, and an "all these tunnels look the same to me." The eponymous web is a spiderweb-like "fungus" which the Yeti shoot from guns, cocooning the TARDIS, bombs, people, etc.</p><p>Jack Watling (Victoria's real-life dad) plays Professor Travers, which must have been neat for them. He was also in The Abominable Snowman, but I failed to mention. Travers getting taken over by the Great Intelligence is well-done and unsettling. Speaking of unsettling, Evans' suggestion that they give up the Doctor to escape is ice cold.</p><p>The Doctor really lays it all on the line in this one. The ending is decidedly mixed, unusually so for a Who story.</p><p>Overall, this one is okay, but not great, though the ending makes up for a lot. I don't think the Great Intelligence is terribly threatening, and the Yetis are a bit silly -- if they're robots, why don't they have a more appropriate appearance? The great furry covering makes sense in Tibet, but not so much in the Underground. Zippers are clearly visible on the back of the costumes.</p><p>Still, any Troughton story this complete is a rarity, and worth a watch.</p>",
