Yeah - it is, when all's said and done, just one show. It's my favourite TV series, but I have to admit - has it produced anything of the quality of I Claudius, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy or Quatermass and the Pit? Probably not. Having said which, I'm currently watching Pyramids of Mars in bed...

Your w/c date query... Quatermass ("The Conclusion") started on ITV on Weds 24 Oct 1979, so the 25th was a Thursday. Did TV Times begin their week's listings on Thursdays?

Holst's Mars from the Planets for The Quatermass Experiment.
The Eagles' Journey Of The Sorcerer for The Hitchhiker's Guide The Galaxy.
Lynyrd Skynyrd's Freebird for Kingsman. (and yes I know the sequel has issues but I haven't seen it)

What's your favorite use of pre-existing classical music in a movie not directed by Stanley Kubrick?
Mine is probably "Hall of the Mountain King" from Fritz Lang's M, the main melody of which is whistled by the killer.
Runner up: Howard Hanson's Symphony No. 2 ("Romantic") at the end of Alien

Still love this show. Kneale was such a marvellous writer, & John Mills, brilliant, as Bernard Quatermass.🥰

I've never seen Quatermass, but I do own a copy of the novelisation. That I haven't read.
Ringstone Round', the first episode of Quatermass, was broadcast on this day in 1979.

ITV is back and it's going to bring the fight to the BBC, reports the Sandwell Evening Mail in the West Midlands on Wednesday 24 October 1979.
There's also a half-page reminder of where we left the two big soaps 11 weeks ago.

OTD 1979: Quatermass Ringstone Round (The Last One, The First Part)
Good news for choice on TV as ITV returns from a long strike
Bad news for Doctor Who (which had just hit 16 million viewers)
Worse news of the future in that most ’70s of grubby dystopias—

The presence of André Morell as a Professor in this means in my headcanon this is another Quatermass story
The biggest thing since time began!

shout out to the great Brian Donlevy, he's one of those actors you see all the time in things but never look up, to me he'll always be the theatrical Professor Quatermass from Hammer's first 2 films
