Classic mini series of a tv gem. Black and white as you would expect from the period of production. Picture and sound reflect the archival features of this pre-colour tv sci-fi / horror so don't expect HD quality. Too good to miss if you love this genre and the brilliant Nigel kneal.

Quatermass and it's sequels were hugely influential on television and science fiction. Written by Nigel Kneale and produced by Rudolph Cartier these tv programmes were later adapted and remade by Hammer films and helped move Hammer towards horror movies. They also provided much of the narrative inspiration towards 1970s Doctor Who. This collection contains all that exists of the three1950s teleplays. Sadly the whole of The Quatermass Experiment was not recorded on transmission except for the first two episodes. Qutermass II and Quatermass and the Pit are complete. While dated in production technique and image quality, the the scripts shine out, being genuinely imaginative and unsettling. For fans and students of early British television this is an essential view. The collection has excellent viewing notes by Andrew pixley and is as good a collection of of the material as you can source.Read full review

Very interesting and historic look at early TV drama produced on a tiny budget. Plenty of written information and extra features on dvd showing how episodes were created. Fascinating stuff.

Great series from the past, scary as I had been with Quatermass and the Pit on TV. Worth its weight in gold as an historic TV film series.
