SUMMARY
After narrowly avoiding
being trapped in a web-like substance in space, the
TARDIS materialises in a London Underground station also
being overrun by the web and by the robotic Yeti. It
seems that forty years after The Doctor first met him,
Professor Travers has accidentally revived one of the
Yeti, allowing the Great Intelligence to attempt another
invasion. The crew of the TARDIS team up with the
military to fight the alien menace.
