However, the recordings were poor quality notably with episode 2 having an insect on screen in the recording , and so the idea was scrapped.

This makes it unlikely that episodes will ever be recovered. The first two episodes are freely available online and on DVD. In addition, there are copies of the scripts of the missing episodes available on a DVD boxset. There are two adaptations of the serial, the first famously a film from Hammer, the second from , which like the original, was a live production by the BBC. Both of these were fortunately preserved and are available on DVD.

The tensions of the cold war era are also felt at times. One notable goof: During one of the episodes, An insect appears on the TV monitor that was being filmed to record the broadcast!

I very much recommend viewing these 2 episodes. While "The Tenth Planet" Hartnell's last episode until "The Three Doctors: was important because it featured the First Appearance of the Cybermen which were, next to the Daleks themselves, the most popular and frightening of the original villans, Then one turns to "The Web of Fear" during Patrick Troughton's time as the Doctor which features the second appearance of "The Yeti" but also introduces the character of Lethbridge-Stewart played then and forever by the late great Nicholas Courtney.

He hadn't attained the rank of Brigadier yet but the thought that almost nothing of his first appearance has been preserved makes a true fan want to have a TARDIS just long enought to travel back and smack the guy who is about to order the erasure of these upside the head and shout "What are you THINKING??? Another in the great tradition of British Boffins who have so enriched both film and literature. Conan Doyle's Professor Challenger comes to mind at once as does "Dr. But back to Quatermass.

In the third series, respected English actor Andre Morell breathed life into the role of the British government rocket scientist with an interest in things other than rocket science. Though in retrospect the acting appeared often amateurish, even given the 'live' nature of BBC plays then, the impact even now is dramatic, perhaps in part because of the simplistic representations of life which the developing TV genre portrayed.

The transition of Quatermass from the small screen to the cinema was brought about by the success of the TV miniseries from a collaboration between the BBC, Kneale and Hammer Films Ltd.

This was to be Hammers first horror movie production, and were to make a total of three Quatermass movies, the first two made at their UK studios at Bray and the last at MGM Studios Borehamwood. The first, 'The Quatermass Experiment', included the pop-horror movie themes of the day; space travel and alien monsters. The enthusiastic direction of British director Val Guest together with some fine acting produced a movie which even now still captures the imagination. In a move typical of the British film industry at that time, an American actor was contracted to play the title role, in order to provide universal box office bankability both in europe and the United States.

In this movie, veteran actor Brian Donlevy, then in the latter years of his holywood career, portrayed Quatermass as a gruff, slightly menacing and thoughtless character, who worked his scientists beyond endurance. This truly must have been one of the first big screen 'anti-heroes', since there appears to be few redeeming qualities in his character, in complete contrast to the portrayal of Quatermass in the original BBC TV series. The success of Hammer's first foray into the horror genre meant that a sequel to 'The Quatermass Experiment' was inevitable, and the following year 'Quatermass II' was released.
