Episode 6, "The Abominable Snowman" has topicality going for it, but unravels like a cheap piece of drek like 1954's "The Snow Creature" or 1956's "Man Beast." Every member of London's Himalayan Moutaineers' Club has received footprints of a yeti as a warning, even Colonel March himself. Doris Nolan (later seen in "The Case of the Kidnapped Poodle") plays female mountaineer Mary Gray, who has shot a film depicting the most recent climb, in which a man named Hastings fell to his death. Osborne (Ivan Craig), a fellow climber who narrowly escaped with his life, feels guilt about the man's demise, believing that his ghost is responsible for the mystery, while Narbu (Alec Mango) informs the Colonel that Hastings felt he was about to die, and had written to a brother in England. The other reviewer practically nails each problem, since the ho-hum climax fails to explain how everything was done. Alec Mango went on to do "Frankenstein Created Woman" for Hammer in 1966.
