As part of TV On Trial, BBC Four recreated a cult classic, first transmitted live in 1953 and since lost in the
archives. In the BBC Four version, to be performed live, Jason Flemyng stars as Professor Bernard Quatermass, whose attempts
to push back the frontiers of space lead to terrifying consequences. When a rocket returns from its mission with only one
of the crew still alive it soon becomes clear that something is terribly wrong...
