Quatermass 4 (1979) 4 part tv serial. Part 3 What Lies Beneath
OneSparePart
Date/Time: Thursday 6th July 7.45pm

Story: After being dragged from the District Commissioner's car in last week's exciting episode, Quatermass finds himself in the helping hands of people older than he is, including Ethel from Eastenders. I know, you didn't even think that was possible...
Anyway, returning to the action, the Professor has a few theories but as he begins to formulate his ideas, the Americans and the Russians come up with another terrible idea...it doesn't end well...but then something worse happens at Wembley Stadium!


Guest stars this week include B7's own Councillor Joban, Kevin Stoney and from Coronation Street, Brian Tilsley aka Chris Quintin.

Almost time! Will anyone else turn up, I wonder. Is OracvZen feeling any better? Will I understand any of this episode? So many questions, so few answers.
At least the link works. Thanks, OSP.

Yes, brilliant. As is using older actors. Hardly ever see anyone over 50 on TV, except Gandalf.

Oh good grief of course, Larry Noble. I was chatting to his nephew online about his Quatermass role.
