Introduction

The purpose of this particular home page is to pay respects to writer Nigel Kneale and his fictional character Bernard Quatermass, a British government rocket scientist who's escapades with invaders from other planets thrilled TV and film audiences in the fifties, sixties and seventies, both in the UK and worldwide. Most of the information found here has been taken from articles published in the quarterly magazine TIME SCREEN, to which we are grateful for allowing us to use extracts. Contributions to and corrections of errors on this page are very welcome. Info about actors is particularly needed.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PAGE IS AN INDEPENDENT AMATEUR PRODUCTION AND IS PRODUCED IN GOOD FAITH. IT IS NOT A PRODUCTION OF THE BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION, HAMMER FILMS LTD, EUSTON FILMS LTD, OR NIGEL KNEALE. PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE TO THE QUATERMASS PAGE IN THE EVENT OF ANY PROBLEMS REGARDING THESE PAGES OR POTENTIAL COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. ERRORS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED AND PROBLEMS ADDRESSED.
