Given the acrimony between Haisman and Lincoln on the one hand and the BBC on the other hand, the Yeti, who had appeared in their earlier serials The Abominable Snowmen and The Web of Fear, were never again featured as the major antagonist in a televised Doctor Who story. However, a Yeti did make a brief cameo appearance in The Five Doctors, the series' twentieth anniversary special, in 1983. The Yeti and the Great Intelligence were the antagonists of the direct-to-video feature Downtime (1995), and the 2012 Christmas Special The Snowmen presented an origin for the Great Intelligence.
