Another sci-fi series from that period was Quatermass starring John Mills which was shown when ITV resumed after the 1979 strike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-31324916854472299342017-07-14T18:14:44.507+01:002017-07-14T18:14:44.507+01:00The greatest SF show ever made.The greatest SF show ever made.KlownKrustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951875989078181671noreply@blogger.com
