Last year, producer Marcus Wilson revealed that a couple of classic Doctor Who monsters from the 60s and 70s are set to reappear in Series 7.

The early word is that one of them is in fact the Yeti.

Despite their hairy appearance on the outside, the Yeti monsters were actually alien robots in the classic series. They first appeared in second Doctor story, The Abominable Snowmen, originally broadcast in 1967. They came back the following year in The Web of Fear.

This is not the first time the monster has been rumoured to return. Back in 2010, a piece of Yeti artwork from concept artist Peter Mckinstry spread the net with many believing it to be for the Christmas special. But it turned out this was actually for the Doctor Who DVD Files magazine.

We’ll just have to wait and see what happens this time. In the meantime, check out this clip of the Yeti in action from The Web of Fear.

Thanks to The Doctors Trainers & Farsighted for the heads up.
