About this listen

 Launching a new range of Classic Radio Sci-Fi releases, the renowned Quatermass Memoirs was first broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in 1996. It is a mix of original TV soundtrack and drama-documentary, in which Nigel Kneale reflects on the 1950s fearful atmosphere in which he wrote the classic Quatermass TV serials. The programme mixes the factual story with a dramatic narrative, in which the now-retired Professor Quatermass (played by Nigel Kneale) reluctantly recounts his past exploits to a female journalist. This in turn is interweaved with soundtrack footage from the Quatermass TV dramas. The final touch is a stirring music soundtrack.©2006 BBC Audiobooks Ltd (P)2006 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Science Fiction Fiction Classics

Nice overview

The purpose of this production is two-fold: to give a review of the first three serials in the form of an interview of the main character, and to give a historical background to the real-life events that inspired the writing of said serials by the writer himself.

The production is professionally done and actually aired on BBC Radio. If you're a fan of the character and are interested in both the stories and the stories behind the stories then this is for you.
