TEXT: THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMEN by MERVYN HAISMAN and HENRY LINCOLN first broadcast - 21st October 1967 [SCENE_BREAK] 1. HALL (THOMNI, searching frantically for VICTORIA who's given him the slip, suddenly hears screaming coming from the Great Hall. When he gets there he finds that the "dead" Yeti is now very much alive and free from its various chains and ghost traps.) VICTORIA: Oh no! Thomni! Help, Thomni! THOMNI: Run, Miss Victoria, run! Fetch Khrisong. (VICTORIA runs off to get help while THOMNI tries to hold the creature off...) [SCENE_BREAK] 2. CORRIDOR (VICTORIA runs straight into SAPAN.) VICTORIA: The Yeti! The Yeti! Fetch help! Where's Khrisong? SAPAN: But where is Thomni? What has happened? VICTORIA: He's in there. He's coming, now hurry! (They both run off towards the courtyard.) [SCENE_BREAK] 3. HALL (THOMNI tries to stop the Yeti, but to no avail, the Yeti seeming hardly interested in THOMNI's futile attacks. It lumbers off towards the courtyard...) [SCENE_BREAK] 4. COURTYARD (...where Khrisong and a couple of warrior monks are... but by sheer chance VICTORIA and SAPAN get there first.) SAPAN: Khrisong, the Yeti, it is alive! KHRISONG: What! VICTORIA: It's true Khrisong! Quick, it's coming, do something! (A fight starts.) KHRISONG: Get back! Get back! Ralpachan, help him! Get him! Get up! We can't stop it! Get a net! We must destroy it! (The monks, however, have little chance against the Yeti and seeing this, through all of the shouting, VICTORIA urges THOMNI to open the gates to let it out. KHRISONG orders Thomni
