* EvilIsHammy: TheMaster ([[OneSteveLimit not that one]]) possessing Padmarsambhavar endlessly, hopelessly overacts everything he says and pulls this off [[MissingEpisode in the audio recording]][[invoked]]. You can even hear the microphone popping as he hisses and spits his consonants.

** From what few photos survived, Padmamsambhava looked like a man with wrinkles and white hair all over his face. Here, he’s drawn as a shrivelled figure with no hair and misshapen teeth.

It transpires that an alien creature -- the Great Intelligence -- has taken over Padmasambhava, prolonging his life, and that the Yeti seen in the area are robots, there to scare off or kill inquisitive travellers. The Great Intelligence is a non-corporeal creature (who [[spoiler:[[TimeyWimeyBall previously]] [[Recap/DoctorWho2012CSTheSnowmen met the Eleventh Doctor]]]]) trying to create a form for itself in order to take over the Earth. The Doctor banishes it back to the astral plane and Padmasambhava is able to die in peace.

Only the second episode remains. An animated reconstruction was released in September 2022. Due to funding issues on the part of BBC America (who were responsible for stateside distribution of the releases), it will also be the show's final animated reconstruction for an indefinite period of time, with later projects being cancelled as a result.

** Subverted with the animation reconstruction. Director Gary Russell explained the alteration: "My only real bugbear about [original director] Gerald Blake's directing was casting white people to play Asian characters. That was an obvious thing that we were going to do – we were going to rectify that mistake that was made in 1967, because it's just bloody insulting."
