10. It’s Testing Time

In the final leg of their yeti search, Andy is taken ill leaving Richard to spend the night alone in yeti country.

Meanwhile, Andy receives a mysterious phone call from a man who says he has evidence of the yeti.

The pair are reunited in Thimpu where they discuss their findings. Have they finally found the evidence they’ve been searching for? Can they once and for all prove the creature is real?

In this 10-part documentary series, Andrew Benfield and Richard Horsey travel through India, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan in search of stories of yeti sightings and encounters. They hear from villagers, yak herders, sherpas and mountaineers, who give surprisingly consistent descriptions of a mysterious, large, hairy creature. This series takes us on a journey deep into Himalayan culture as the presenters grapple with their own inner demons to try to make sense of the yeti myth.
