Sightings of an apelike creature wandering the Himalayas have been a source of fascination for decades. Local people and mountaineers claim to have come face to face with the creature which has come to be known as a Yeti or Abominable Snowman or Bigfoot. But there’s never been any proof of their existence – until now. New DNA research carried out in the UK has led researchers at Oxford University to claim they may have finally solved the mystery. Lead researcher Professor Bryan Sykes spoke to BBC host Julian Marshall about the discovery. Then, WBEZ’s Tricia Bobeda talks about the long lost episodes from the earliest seasons of the British Sci Fi show Doctor Who discovered in Nigeria. Now for the first time in 50 years, fans of the series can watch the old shows on iTunes. (Photo: Flickr/Doctor Who Spoilers)
