Good evening, fellow ghouls. I have attempted to upload the 4-episode 1979 TV series known as Quatermass in the UK, but as Quatermass IV or Quatermass The Conclusion elsewhere. Unfortunately, due to YouTube's labyrinthine copyright policies, episodes 1 & 2 were denied whereas episodes 3 & 4 were permitted. This is a shame because those completely unfamiliar with the premise and stage-setting of this brilliant TV series will be largely unable to frame the climactic two episodes through to the story's conclusion. Nonetheless, I have left the final two episodes up in the expectation that many of you will still derive some pleasure from the late Sir John Mill's excellent portrayal of the beleaguered British scientist, Bernard Quatermass. I am also acutely aware that some will dump this series into the straight science fiction category rather than "horror" but, again, I have included it as in my view at least the Quatermass series of films and TV shows straddle that line between sci-fi and horror, notwithstanding the fact that Quatermass himself is a uniquely British creation. Enjoy! The premise of the 1979 series, not to mention the crushing sense of doom and oppression which comes across, is also somewhat horrifying if you ask me.
