In this five-part drama-documentary, Quatermass creator Nigel Kneale reflects on the fearful fifties atmosphere by which he was inspired, and creates a further adventure for Professor Bernard Quatermass. Having saved the Earth from alien invasion three times, Quatermass looks forward to a peaceful retirement.
