Unless you did?

Let's see - they were called Snowmen and were controlled by the Great Intelligence

Coincidence? I think not!!

I think that writer Steven Moffat fumbled the ball here, and either didn't do his homework about what the Troughton-era Snowmen looked like, or he didn't give the viewers enough credit to remember a monster from 44 years previous

They were created from snow. It showed it. Just a tool of the Intelligence. You really don't think Moffat knew what the Yeti looked like?

There wasn't a sphere involved or anything like that. The GI used loads of different methods - Spoon heads, Whisper Men, to name but two.

Well it was Christmas Susan. How else was the Great Intelligence going to disguise itself.

The "Snowmen" was just Moffat trying to be funny. And failing painfully, as usual.

As Peter Capaldi calls time on his adventures in the Tardis Jo has exclusive access to the Dr Who team. She catches up with the stars of the series on the set including Pearl Mackie, David Bradley, Exec Producer extraordinaire Steven Moffat and the Doctor himself. Plus we hear from outgoing companion Matt Lucas and we dig into the BBC Dr Who archive.

We hear stories from behind the scenes including how Matt approaches being recognised by fans, the radical ways in which Pearl's life has changed, Pele's reaction to signing a Brazil shirt for the Doctor and how Who has always been with Peter Capaldi - from dressing up as a Dalek as a child, to karaoke singalongs to the Killers all in the name of getting in character... Plus we find out which member of the team has a penchant for Chas and Dave!

SHORT NOTICE ALERT

THIS IS BEING BROADCAST TONIGHT ON BBC RADIO 2 at 8pm

Would seem the Blu ray season boxsets of classic Who rumours are true, as now Sanity are also listing it for an Australian release in March!
