Win Quatermass and The Pit Double Play Blu-ray + DVD
Thanks to STUDIOCANAL we have 3 copies of QUATERMASS AND THE PIT which is being released on Double Play on October 10th!
QUATERMASS AND THE PIT has been digitally restored and has some brand new extras including interviews with Julian Glover, Mark Gatiss, Judith Kerr, Kim Newman, Joe Dante and Marcus Hearne.
QUATERMASS AND THE PIT
Hobbs End, Knightsbridge, London.
Whilst working on a new subway tunnel for the London Underground a group of construction workers uncover a strangely shaped skull amongst the rubble.
Nearby is another discovery: a large, mysterious and impenetrable metal object.
Initially mistaken for an unexploded bomb the origins of the object and its strange power are far more horrific and terrifying than anybody could have possibly imagined.
Is it of this earth? Could it be the ancestral link to mankind’s evolution? Or could it be an ancient link to unleashing ultimate evil?
There’s only one man capable of unravelling the clues, his name is Professor Bernard Quatermass, a man of science who thrives on the dark mysteries of the world, a man with answers. Written by legendary screenwriter Nigel Kneale, Quatermass and The Pit is a seminal British sci-fi classic.
Highly influential, it’s renowned for its creepy plot and eerie, disturbing atmosphere.
There is nothing else like it.
Special Features include:
*New UK exclusive interviews with Julian Glover, Mark Gatiss, Judith Kerr, Kim Newman and Marcus Hearn
*Audio commentary with Nigel Kneale and Roy Ward Baker
*World of Hammer – Sci-Fi Episode

October 11th, 2011 - 12:57pmThis scared the collywobbles out of me when I was young great story by one of Britains best sci fi writers, shame the Dr. and the Professor never met though,now that would’ve been a great crossover.
McGann is the Doctor.
October 11th, 2011 - 1:04pmIt was disturbing aswell as intriguing for me to watch aswell ! Itwas about a year and a half ago that I saw it !
And I’m 16 going on 17, so the story was genuinely one of intrigue and fright, yes, for a mature audience.

October 10th, 2011 - 6:16pmWhat has this got to do with doctor who???? ❓
Radburn
October 10th, 2011 - 6:47pmNigel Kneale was approached to write a story for Classic Era Who but turned it down & was very dismissive of Dr Who. But many references to Quatermass (ie Bernard) & The British Rocket Group appear in Classic Who & even New Who such as the ‘Bernard’ measurement from “Planet Of The Dead”. 70’s Pertwee era was envisaged by Producers as an “earth bound Quatermass” & the film itself runs as a Pertwee/Baker era story. In fact David Tennant was given the role of the 10th Doctor the evening he starred in a live broadcast of the “Quatermass Experiment”
