This month marks 100 years since the birth of actor/writer/director/ producer Antony Ellis! Our listener Mark suggested we celebrate Ellis’ remarkable career and we have chosen an episode of Escape to do just that! The Abominable Snowman was written and directed by Ellis and it tells the tale of a hunting expedition in the Himalayas determined to track down the legendary yeti. What do the local guides know about this creature that the hunters do not? Just who is really hunting who? Will we at any point successfully say the word abubinuble…amunabubble…bunimumable—dang it! Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

If you liked this, you may be interested in the 1957 Hammer film “The Abominable Snowman,” based on a 1955 British TV play by Nigel Kneale (best known for his Prof. Quatermass stories). It covers very similar ground, but takes quite a turn. (And this time, the local lama is very much in on it.)
