Gosh - doesn't Gareth Thomas look young?

I love the way the skelly's bones are all connected together, even after 5 million years.

Is it obligatory for TV archaeologists to wear cloaks?

Barbara Shelley should never be involved in manual labour. It's beneath her.

Don't forget - archaeology is a career in ruins

They need 'Mike' from UNIT to manage this sort of 'situation'

Who is the chief archaeologist? He looks familiar.

These days, naked archaeology is all the rage. At least you can always find somewhere to lean your trowel

Quatermass is now a naturalised British citizen.

One look at Miss Judd and it'd be off with his uniform

This Quatermass is more reasonable but still has a bite

Ha! It's Julian Glover - lots of Blakes 7 folks in this one.

Personally, I do like Quatermass to be a bit odder.

Thanks. But as I've never heard of him, it must be that he looks like someone else.

Lethbridge-Stewart would have all this sorted in a trice - and still be able to make the regimental dinner on time

Has anybody mentioned the word 'artifact' yet?

Glad Julian G's got his stick with him. Will definitely come in handy, just like it did for Blackadder. Oh, wait...

A role I was born to play. Would insist on a better bowtie, though.

Houses where people wouldn't live - creepy.
