Peter McKinstry is an artist and concept designer who’s worked on Doctor Who since new Who series 2, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
On his website he’s published a new concept art image. It looks rather impressive.
What’s more – the concept art has sparked speculation. Could this be a Yeti?
The Yeti were a foe of the Second Doctor (played by Patrick Troughton). They might look like a hairy biped on the outside but are actually alien robots serving the Great Intelligence.
McKinstry’s art certainly seems to depict a hairy outside and a robot on the inside. If this is a return of the Yeti then it’ll be the first time we’ve seen one of the Second Doctor’s foes for over 40 years.
What do you think?
Good point. Me to! I know it's a little cheesy but I do like it when episodes are able to build on the “mythos” of Doctor Who. It helps connect all the Doctors together and remind us that we're looking at an adventure throughout all of time and space – rather than a short little new style episode!
The Yeti appeared also in “The Five Doctors” during PD's era. It's still a long time ago. I hope the rumour is true
