Ep 1 ~ The Bolts Second in the Quatermass series created by Nigel Kneale. It is the earliest surviving complete British science-fiction television production.
Camilente, you're a star! I've always wondered what these early episodes were like. They seemed to cause quite a stir at the time, I remember my mother telling me she found them very frightening. Sure, by today's standards and and reliance on CGI they seem rather tame but that won't stop me settling down to enjoy ! Cheers.
Some of these old programmes can still appear quite frightening in this day and age...take the film Night of the Demon for example. I still find that quite scary and I watch many, many horror programmes and shows. Some films are date less like 'The Exorcist'...that was a terrifying film to watch back in its day and still is (IMO). Thanks for your comment Susan.
They couldn't afford to use too much film so most scenes are filmed in one take and there is much less in the way of rehearsal time than you would have with theatre. I would imagine a lot of modern actors would struggle just as much if not more with not fluffing their lines
wonderful. More engaging than a lot of modern tripe.

Quatermass (1979)
In the distant future, a now-elderly Bernard Quatermass investigates the disappearance of his granddaughter and a mysterious cult.
Episode 1: The Horse Apple From Space
a mixed up though
John Robinson isn’t very good at acting, he keeps fluffing his lines.
