Quatermass's daughter is amazingly posh.

#Quatermass

It's impressive that the Irish construction workers are taking on the aliens but would they really be so inclined to storm the plant on the say so of randomer they've met in the pub. #Quatermass

The cinematography (or whatever TV equivalent is) on that episode seemed very influence by noir and/or German expressionism. #Quatermass

Holy fuck episode 4 of Quatermass II begins with an announcement that in the opinion of the BBC it is not suitable for children or people of a nervous disposition. #Quatermass

Quatermass himself grumbling about state bureaucracy is funny. Where does he think the money for his rockets comes from? And his rocket group is the state. #Quatermass

I am fascinated by how all of Quatermass's attempts to send rockets into space are complete disasters. #Quatermass

Let's see how much of Quatermass 2 (TV series, not film) I can watch before I have to go to bed.

#Quatermass

I mean, #TheMartian was some amount of made up bullshit, but having just sat through #Gravity for the first time, fuck me. Absolute nonsense. #Quatermass was more believable than this.

I don't normally have so much self-pimpage to share (podcast is due later today, as usual), but this was the result of me being asked to guest on a friend's YouTube channel, and I think the three of us had a good conversation about Quatermass. Feel free to check it out, especially if you like the character of Quatermass.

Dani's never heard of #NigelKneale, #Quatermass or #TheStoneTape. Rebecca, John, & guest Gareth Preston of Very British Futures Podcast take her back to Christmas 1972. Plus bonus: #Ghostwatch, #BBC 1's infamous 'live broadcast' of suburban #haunting

#Supper: #coffee and a #sourdough Danish #pastry. Plus the latest issue of #Hellebore #zine to read. There’s even an article in there looking at TV dramas Children of the Stones, Doctor Who’s Stones of Blood, and Quatermass IV. #zines #folkHorror #folklore #horror #BritishFolklore #BritishTV #scifi #DoctorWho #70sTV #NigelKneale #Quatermass #Occult #HelleboreZine #Pagan

A rough, quick little experiment in video restoration.

Manual reduction of the ancient cameras' shading problems, and EBSynth to deal with the impulse noise that comes and goes in various shots in episode 2; I used EBSynth to apply the noisy parts' movement to a clean frame, basically. Very interesting tool!

Far from perfect (particularly the shading removal), but I'd say it's interesting at least.

Who wore it best?

A satsuma or Victor Carroon?

#Quatermass

Believe it or not, but I had never seen any of the Quatermass movies or serials before this month. (I blame it on being American.)
I'm now corrupted. I just ordered a book about the making of Quatermass and the Pit, and a used copy of Nigel Kneale's only Quatermass novelization.
