[QUOTE="spiney, post: 265885, member: 192438"] There were 4 Quatermass tv serials, 3 in 1950s on the BBC, the final one in 1979 (in which Quatermass dies) on ITV. The often tv shown Hammer film verison of Quatermass and the Pit was made in 1967 (there were 2 other 50s cinema films). None was transmitted in '54. The recent remake was utterly dire, so let's just pretend it never happened! [url]http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/8504/qhome.htm[/url] . (this link is slightly confusing, as it lists the 1979 tv serial twice, once as a cinema film! However, this was the only story NOT re-made for the cinema!). Quatermass aside, Kneale's supreme achievment was The Stone Tape, BBC4 have already shown it twice, hopefully they will again soon. [url]http://www.offthetelly.co.uk/reviews/gold/stonetape.htm[/url] . Note that - despite above link, Stone Tape wasn't in fact original, that idea having been proposed long before, by "mad occult archaeologist" T C Lethbridge. In fact, I was at the NFT screening of Stone Tape, and was going to ask Kneale exactly this question, but had to leave halfway through, dammit .... [url]http://thenewagefiles.shadowweb.info/articles/the_legacy%20of_t_c_lethbridge.php[/url] . Hang on, I've just looked at that Radio Times link, it says "filmed 1955" .... but the film is actually Hammer's 1st Quatermass from 1956, made after the original tv series, as Llew says. [/QUOTE]
