The BBC series of Quatermass and the Pit is up on the iPlayer for the next few months
Fri, 17/08/2018 - 11:35pm — CarolThe BBC series of Quatermass and the Pit is up on the iPlayer for the next few months. I thought I'd tweet a little about why you should give it a try if you're fond of genre storytelling and you don't know much about it. pic.twitter.com/zk74FZMOgD
