'The Quatermass Memoirs' (5 Parts) by Nigel Kneal

Episode 1:
In this five-part drama-documentary mixing interview, archive and adventure, `Quatermass' creator Nigel Kneale reflects on the fearful 50s atmosphere by which he was inspired, and creates a further adventure for one of science's great fictional characters, Professor Bernard Quatermass. Andrew Keir returns to the role of Quatermass, with Emma Gregory as Mandy and Zulema Dene as Maire. Having saved the Earth from alien invasion three times, Quatermass looks forward to a peaceful retirement. The intrusion of a would-be biographer, however, puts a stop to that.

Episode 2:
While in the real world the most pressing threat is the bomb, Quatermass confronts something even more terrifying in Westminster Abbey!

Episode 3:
In the real world, Burgess and MacLean defect, trailing their secrets behind them. Meanwhile, Quatermass confronts the horrible secret behind a mysterious fenced-off village.

Episode 4:
While revolution grips the world, Quatermass faces a more ominous threat in outer space.

Episode 5:
Race riots grip the 1950s and Quatermass confronts an evil more ancient than man himself...
