The Quatermass Series

A nice piece by the BBC- extremely rare these days, but welcome nonetheless:
‘Ultimately, the importance of Quatermass today lies as much in it being a snapshot of those early days of the small screen as its subsequent influence. “It was perfectly attuned to the way you watched television in the 1950s,” Sweet concludes. “There was something séance-like about watching. You had to draw the curtains to see it, the television had to warm up, and then something manifested on a screen that was a bit like looking into the porthole of a Martian capsule’
