I know that this subject as been discussed many times but is there anyone out there who vividly remembers seeing this serial,particulary the end episode? I know it was nearly 56 years ago but I can still vividly recall the coronation and the street party we had, even though Iwas just coming up to 7 years old ,so I sort of just missed seeing Quatermass even though we had a telly then ( they were always breaking down).But I have spoken to people over the years and I remember one guy said to me ''Phil it was one of those things where one had to sleep with light on after''. I also missed the 2nd serial at the time, and I remember kids at school, even years after saying ''Oh they put these people in these tanks ,and they got this mark and things''they also had a rhyme going around sung to the tune of Hernandos Hideaway'' There was a poison gas from space, that left a mark upon your face, its here again ,its here at last, its here the second Quatermass!'' I remember the PIT and I had many a sleepless night through this one! Good exciting TV!!!
