Andrew Keir stars as Bernard Quatermass in this dramatic look back at the story of a legendary television series, narrated by Nigel Kneale.
In the 1950s, the British public was gripped by three adult-oriented BBC science-fiction serials which became the keystone and benchmark for the genre on television. In many ways Professor Bernard Quatermass symbolised an era in which pioneering scientific discoveries encouraged both the hopes and the fears of the nation.
Mixing extracts from the original BBC TV series with archive footage of real-life news events, interwoven with Nigel Kneale’s narration and original drama segments, the Quatermass Memoirs look at the genesis of the series, and how it was very much a product of it’s time. Now retired and living in the North of Scotland, Bernard Quatermass wants only to be left alone - but when a keen young reporter turns up at his door, for how long will he manage to remain guarded about his past adventures?
