Episode 3 - The Quatermass Xperiment (1955)
Quatermass gets Hammered, with Brian Donlevy.
This episode we're joined by BFI patron Dave Thomas, writer of Hammer: Back From The Dead, to look at Quatermass's first big screen adventure.
On the way we'll look at the origins of this film and what it meant for Hammer, why Brian Donlevy might actually be the villain of the piece and what connects The Quatermass Xperiment with the Marlboro Man.
We'll also deal with cathartic memories of Britain's scariest comic...
...and investigate just what the bloody hell is going on with that US poster.
