| Re: Nigel Kneale, creator of Quatermass, dies Yes... Quatermass and the Pit is the one of the original television productions I've had a chance to see (in fact, I recall seeing something years ago indicating that the others -- of the original three, anyway -- no longer exist; is this correct?). While I quite like the film version, I prefer the original; it had more room to breathe, and to develop a genuinely eerie atmosphere; and allowed one to appreciate Kneale's writing (not to mention the understated performance of Andre Morell). Speaking of which ... does anyone know where I can get a copy of this thing? VHS or DVD would either one do... I'd just love to have the original television serial! |
