Writer Nigel Kneale's 1950's Quatermass trilogy set an early benchmark for TV science fiction. Despite being played by different actors in each series the character of Professor Quatermass became one of television's first heroes and the serials themselves earned a place in small-screen history.
THE QUATERMASS EXPERIMENT: When a spacecraft crashes back to Earth, Professor Quatermass, Head of British Experimental Rocket Group rushes to the scene. As the true condition of the sole survivor becomes apparent. Quatermass must confront a seemingly inexorable alien life form...
Only the first two episodes exist. Scripts for the remaining four episodes are included as a Special Feature.
QUATERMASS II: Mysterious showers of meteorites lead Professor Quatermass on a trail to a factory in a deserted village. What awaits him is a worldwide alien conspiracy that threatens to take over the planet and turn its human population into zombies...
QUATERMASS AND THE PIT: When ancient bones and something resembling an unexploded bomb are found on a London building site, the military and scientists are baffled. As further astounding discoveries are made, the renowned Professor Quatermass begins to unravel a terrifying threat of chaos and terror.
