There are strong similarities, but a lot of differences as well. One of the things I prefer about the original is that it had more room to breathe, and so you ended up with some very atmospheric, eerie things going on there... something they just didn't have time to develop properly in the 90 minutes or so of the Hammer version. Both are well worth seeing, but I have to admit to a preference for the original broadcast version, and even to a preference for AndréMorell as Quatermass, even though Andrew Kier did put in an excellent performance....
