Oh no!

Nigel Kneale, creator of Quatermass, has died in hospital at the age of 84.

Where is Dr Who going to steal its plots from now?

Thanks for the info. *sad* Without Quatermass, the modern TV SF scene would only be a shadow of what has actually eventuated.

He really was a trail blazer for someone who supposedly didn't want to be identified as a science fiction writer.

He also gave us one of the best haunted house stories ever televised: The Stone Tape.
