Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I’m going with Quatermass II – I’ve seen some of the Hammer adaptations of these stories, and I’ve enjoyed them – but I’d love to see what of the original material is available. If we have full audio versions of the otherwise lost Quatermass broadcasts, I wouldn’t mind seeing those get animated reproductions the same way that some of the lost Doctor Who stories have been reconstructed.” Blaine says, “the best of this bunch would be the Rankin/Bass specials, but last week’s box set was the superior packaging.”
