#images are rough i know‚ but that reflects the quality of the material to a degree
#that we have complete copies of Quatermass II is a small miracle and to be celebrated
#but as a bbc series from 1955 it is understandably in rather poor form as regards picture and sound quality
#at least compared to contemporaneous shows from itc or america (largely shot on film)
#anyway. what a delight to see young Rog! he's only in this one episode (although he can be seen briefly in the recap at the start of ep 5
#and thus sometimes is credited with both) but he's playing a great character‚ a fleet street wonder that Quatermass brings in to try
#and spread word about the conspiracy at the heart of the series. it allows Rog to play quite a different figure to the villains and foreign
#dignitaries that became his stock in trade later on; he's a wily‚ astute but sceptical figure‚ who wants proof of Quatermass' claims and as
#such is exposed to the alien horrors at work (allowing SPOILER for some very good 'battling possession' acting that leads into a truly
#great cliffhanger). the serial almost feels like it has a guest of the week‚ with a significant character turning up for one ep only in
#most installments‚ including Rupert Davies in the previous episode‚ but i think it's just the way the serial was formatted (and it's not
#like Delgado or even Davies were particularly well known actors at this point in their careers)
#still it's been fun to revisit. highly recommended for fans of dark and doomy sci fi horror
