So just like that, it's going to be OK?

Do you want to watch a film of them picking up body parts and sweeping the streets?


I think I would like some sort of reassurance that they are taking the threat seriously, and will know what to do if they find another one.

But it's Blighty. They'll just muddle through.

That was enjoyable enough but I always get the feeling of an opportunity slightly missed when I watch Q&tP.


Yes. Not as good as the second one, I think.

I won't be around next week, but if we are doing Q4 by episodes, I can always catch up in time for the week after.

Another one? They'll just ignore it and hope for a maverick rocket scientist to save the day

Agree. Q2 is the best one, for me.

Interesting twist to see Q almost getting taken over. Didn't like his hat much, though.

I've never seen Q4. Are there gags at the end of each episode?

Reported for speciesism.

No. But we get to sing nursery rhymes

Right, that's enough of that. Don't have nightmares etc etc etc.

OK, thanks for that - these Quatermass films are very interesting. Good night!

And it's good night from me.

Well, I've mugged up a bit on the Q4 series now and it's actually ripping off CotS! Which is a massive positive. Stone circle! And it comes with added Toyah! The phrase 'Ith a megalith!' is now stuck in my brain.

Plus it's got radio telescopes. I bloody love a radio telescope. Eavesdropping on the cosmos. Swivelling a big dish around. Magic. I'm sure we've all got our own favourite bit of the electromagnetic spectrum and radio waves are definitely mine.... Some of those bad boys have got wavelengths of thousands of miles! Awesome.

I'm overexcited again. Bring it on!
