There is a web in the story, and it is 'of fear'. Here we see the eponymous web covering the TARDIS. It looks spooky and strange.
Don't worry, though. There is no giant spider of fear. That would be ridiculous.
This is the story where Doctor Who meets his best friend - the Brigadier. Except here he's a Colonel. But his real name is The Brigadier.
He meets Doctor Who in the London Underground, and thinks about killing him, in case he's responsible for the web of fear.
Doctor Who says "I'm not." And this seems to work, and then they are friends.
Hurray - it's Anne Travers! She is my favourite character from the story, and maybe from all Doctor Who. She's very clever and self assured, and quite funny too.
See the look that soldier is giving her? It's one of grudging respect. That's the highest compliment a soldier can give.
There are some really good compositions in this story. I think that's why I took so many photos. Here we see Doctor Who doing a think about the web of fear.
The soldier is not giving him a look of grudging respect, is he? That's just a look of grudging.
And the Brigadier is enjoying his hat. "This is a great hat!" he's thinking, mistakenly.
Actually, maybe that's what Doctor Who is thinking about. He's thinking "I like the Brigadier, but his hat is ridiculous. I'm hope I didn't look that stupid in my hat."
You did, Doctor Who. You did.
It's the yeti again! The one at the back looks extra spooky.
I like how most of the monsters in this show hang out in twos. It means they always have a friend to talk to.
These two are talking about if it is safe to eat the web of fear, and if it would taste nice.
Later, the yeti get in a big gang and go rampaging all over London. Raar!
They look significantly better in the shadows, don't they? These ones look drunk. The one on the left is pointing at us, shouting "What are you looking at, you slag?"
This yeti has a gun. Why does it need a gun? It's a massive robot monster!
And it looks furious. How did they do that? How did they make a hairy face with glowing eyes look like it has an emotion?
They're very skilled on this programme.
He thinks he's escaped the yeti, and now he's wondering if he might have a sandwich.
But he hasn't escaped at all, has he?
Quite how the yeti is sneaking through that door I don't know. I think it's standing very still, hoping he doesn't turn round.
Yeti are murderous, but they hate confrontation.
The Brigadier is saying "So what's the verdict on my hat?"
Doctor Who and Anne are wondering how to frame their response in a way that respects his feelings.
Man, I've taken loads of pictures of this story, haven't I? I think I took this just because I like Anne Travers so much, and I was sad that she wasn't going to be in it any more. She'd have made a great companion.
