Many years ago I saw a BBC evening news show called Sixty Minutes show a clip from Abominable Snowmen episode two which was a longer sequence of the yeti coming down the mountain towards Jamie and Victoria and it keeps going all the way nearly to the camera. Obviously this still exists as a 71 edit unless I am wrong so how come it was excluded from the recent DVD release? The picture quality looked pretty good as far as I remember

The original 16mm film inserts still exist for Episode 2 in the BBC Archive, which all run a few seconds longer than those in the episode itself.
The film sequences in the actual episode were replaced with fresh transfers made from the insert reel. No doubt when we get to the Season 5 Blu-ray Collection, the full reel will be included.

i just cant understand why they didnt show that longer sequence as an easter egg or a simple bit of extra footage

Just feels like a missed opportunity or a clumsy error to me

Thank you for reminding me. :-)

Well, we have said that we'll be doing all the classic seasons for the past six years, so it's nothing new.

There's a blooper of Deborah Watling falling over that I was surprised wasn't on The Abominable Snowmen set.

I'm excited for what's to come! honestly the way they have seemed to mix up the decades and doctors I think we are due a Baker or Davidson. My money is on a Baker maybe season 16. I think in the anniversary year and around the anniversary we'd see season 20 with the 5 doctors. Season 1 would fit for an anniversary year but I'm just holding out hope it gets an animation to complete that season. I know they didn't for the crusade but Marco feels like it could be fantastic.

Animations are expensive, I doubt the BluRay range could afford any.
