The Abominable Snowmen 2: Less Yellowface And More Guns
The Web of Fear is a mostly acceptable Doctor Who story that doesn't really do anything special. I like the atmosphere created, more or less - the museum at the start was nice if let down immediately by the antisemitism, and the paranoia created by not knowing who the traitor was is knocked a bit when you know that the Brig (sorry, Colonel) is going to be a major recurring character. Also, the fungus subplot is never really solved?
I did like how the story played with trust. Neither the audience nor the characters can trust what anyone says - we can't even trust the Doctor. The ending, when all the plans come out, was really fun
