Book Reviews of The Quatermass Memoirs (Classic Radio Sci-Fi)
Book Review: A Look Back At Television History
Summary: 5 Stars
I rather enjoyed this look back at one of the heroes of the 1950s, Quatermass who on a number of occasions saved the world from Alien Invasions. These classic television series are of course available on DVD, although only two episodes of The Quatermass Experiment (broadcast in 1953) survived. The Radio Programme broadcast in 1996 is a look back with fond memories by Nigel Kneale himself, with Andrew Keir (who played Quatermass in the Hammer Film Version made in 1967)providing the voice of the Professor who tells the various stories behind the legend. Various clips from the original series can be heard throughout, enhanced by the music of Gustav Holst (Mars, God of War from The Planets Suite). For some reason though, none of the original music used during Quatermass and The Pit (some of which still sounds quite eerie even today) can be heard which is a shame. Still, I am sure many oldies who watched the original transmissions during the 1950s will enjoy this double CD and bring back some haunting memories. Yes, I am sure many of them dived behind the sofa, even then! Good sound by the way. A very good buy.
