Clark on Quatermass #1: The 1950s Script Books

We return to an unplanned irregular release schedule (Dan explains all on the pod) with the first in a series of long-envisioned specials in which horror maestro Simon Clark explains to Dan why the scripts of Nigel Kneale's 1950s trilogy of TV terror about Professor Bernard Quatermass are such an inspirational read.  2023 is the 70th anniversary of the transmission of the first serial, The Quatermass Experiment, and a very special live reading of the original scripts is to be performed for one night only at Alexandra Palace on Saturday 9th September.

 

The existing episodes of The Quatermass Experiment (1953) are on YouTube.
