Toos (Pamela Salem) in The Robots of Death (1977) - Note the red marks on her neck where she was almost strangled to death by a robot.

Something they probably couldn't actually show on screen nowadays!*

*NOTE - Not a comment on the Chibnall era, but more aimed at the difference in attitudes towards television violence in the mid '70's and the attitudes towards television violence in the 21st century

*IF* this is true, it's bad news

From The Mirror

The deal runs out with The Abominable Snowmen and hasn't been renewed sadly. BBC America didn't 'pull their funding' it simply hasn't been extended.

Great. About the only thing there was left to look forward to as a classic fan.

I'm sad to hear that they are pulling out of The Abominable Snowman. Hope they can at least share a cigarette after.
