Quatermass and the Pit is my favourite thing ever, both the TV series and the film. I spend my life praying that they never let Mark Gatis remake it. Nigel Kneale - sure he gave us the dreaful Beasties but he have us Quatermass and The Stone Tape so his immortality is assured.

Enjoying lots of DR Who DVDs right now. The best EVER Dr Who story is The Daemons which touches the Folk Horror Zeitgeist perfectly, complete with witchery, Roger Delgado, pagan black magic, long barrows, Bok & Morris Dancing. All this and Katy Manning too - but the ultimate swoon belongs to the beauteous Damaris Hayman.

Sadly Nu-Who (Tennant at al) is overblown ill-conceived histrionic shite lacking in substance, magic, humanity and joy. Hardly the wonder Ecclestone got out when he did.
