Quatermass

The television scripts to Nigel Kneale's first six-part Quatermass serial for the BBC, since only the first two episodes were recorded for posterity. Nigel Kneale is stunning; he's one of the most character-based writers I've ever encountered in any medium - which is all the more impressive, since sci-fi television has not typically been known as a hotbed of such things, especially in the quintessential B-movie era of the 1950s. I wish that Kneale had written novels as well, but I don't think he has; I'll simply have to content myself with trying to track down more of his TV work, if I can.
