BBC's QUATERMASS
The Quatermass Experiment - live
April 2nd, BBC4, 9.20pm-10.20pm

06.03.05 NEW QUATERMASS EXPERIMENT ON BBC4
Since the last update, news has come in that alongside the BBCs release of the original Quatermass series on DVD on April 4th, BBC4 will be screening a brand new version of The Quatermass Experiment on April 2nd. For full details click here

03.03.05 First broadcast in the 1950s, Nigel Kneale's three popular series about Professor Quatermass and the Rocket Patrol Group, paved the way for modern British science fiction. Essential viewing for the British public, this is the first time in fifty years that the important shows will be made available for domestic viewing again, uncut. Packed with extras, and digitally restored to their former glory, this all important set will be an essential purchase for Hammer fans.

In 1954 Hammer would set about adapting the first of the Quatermass serials, with Brian Donlevy in the starring role. The blend of science fiction and horror would push Hammer into the horror field the name is now synonomous with.

Available from April 4th, at £29.99, from BBC Worldwide (Region 2, 3 disc set).

Pre-order for £17.99 (free p&p to UK) by clicking here.

23/09/04 SITE NEWS
I've introduced some modifications to the site, starting today. Over the coming weeks you might notice a bit of a cosmetic overhaul, as I streamline the layout, to make it easier to navigate, find the material you are after, and make it all much easier for me to edit!

First up is the changes to the news information. The front page (that's this one), will contain any competitons, major promotions, festival information and anything else that your attention needs drawn to. It will also list the date of the last update to the site.

As well as that, this page also contains the forthcoming release schedule on the right hand column. Your one stop source for release dates, and links for online purchase.

The bulk of the news, is on our new NEWS page (link in the contents list on the left). There, all the Hammer news has been gathered together, along with site information, in order of update, most recent at the top.

Email me with your views on the new look to hammer@avalard.com
