@Taweret Alright! Let's do for #Quatermass what we did for Critters! Except, you know, Quatermass is actually good…

I'm having a bathroom fitted, which is noisy chaos, so I've been hiding in the sitting room re-watching #Quatermass And The Pit, with headphones on. I'm sure many have already noticed this but when the missile's glowing, the roundels inside look just like the Tardis interior. #DrWho #DoctorWho

Finished #Quatermass and the Pit.
On the one hand, the first five episodes are a slow build. At its heart, it’s an archeological mystery. So the cliffhanger for the first few episodes are new discoveries.
But for 1959 British #TV, the finale is very remarkable. With limited special effects and mostly live performances, they manage to make the scope of the growing disaster feel larger than they could possibly show.
I can see why this had a profound effect on audiences and future film makers.

In my weird desire to make a set of playmobil doctor who's one of the sticking points has always been the fifth doctor, and I just typed in "playmobil cricket outfit" and got this...
And all I can think is one of the martians from Quatermass and the Pit survived secretly ... crawled out the back of the dig area and ran away into 1950s London to become a concert pianist.

#StandingStoneSunday Here’s shot of the assembled masses on an Andy Collins walking tour of #Avebury. Andy is a top man and also expert on all things #neolithic
This scene reminds me a little of the hippy gatherings at stone circles in the Sir John Mills #Quatermass series if any of you remember that? I’m happy to say no one was harvested during Andy’s tour. -
Great talk & book launch by Toby Hadoke at the BFI last night. His new book on TV’s Quatermass Experiment looking like the definitive story behind TV’s first SF classic. Nigel Kneale’s story has influenced so many other creators over the years. #tv #quatermass #books #bfi

The original: The Quatermass Experiment on BBC, a live miniseries in 1953 with no permanent record of the bulk of the broadcast. Proving ground of Nigel Kneale, the Rod Serling of the UK.

Watched both versions of Quatermass II. I definitely prefer the BBC version. The pacing of the movie is weird. The slower pace of the original meant you really learned and gathers evidence along the way. In the movie Quatermass explains a lot of things he couldn’t really know. And Hammer Quatermass does feel more like a detective than a scientist.
Both are enjoyable watches though.

Quatermass II (BBC) Episode 2
I definitely can see how Professor Quatermass is a proto Doctor figure. Wandering around investigating and bumping up against authority.
Hell, this feels a lot like the beginning of the Invasion.

"We are the Martians!"
Having lunch with dad, and watching the Hammer #film adaptation of Kneale's superb Quatermass and the Pit.

Heute sind wir mal wieder elastisch und zeigen im Blogkino eine Reihe von #Horrorfilmen #Gruselfilmen der britischen #Hammer Studios. Den Aufschlag macht "The Quatermass Xperiment ", hierzulande als "Schock" bekannt: Prof. Bernard #Quatermass arbeitet bei der britischen Raumfahrtbehörde. Als das #Raumschiff das er konstruiert hat, zur Erde zurückkehrt, befindet sich nur einer der ursprünglich drei Astronauten an Bord. Bald geht mit dem Überlebenden eine seltsame Veränderung vor. #KREISCH! #WÜRG!
