I have had these for ages and still am having difficulty separating the Movie and the TV versions of the series. I think I have it figured out but then again I may not. Does anyone know the exact names of the shows from each set. The only ones I am certain of is the Quatermass II and Quatermass 2. I have the 6 TV parts of Quatermass II and I have the single movie version of Quatermass 2.
Was The Quatermass Xperiment the first or the 4th TV showing of the series? I have a few of them ready to post but I am unsure of the TV and Movie versions and I am beginning to be unsure if I have them all or not.
Was Brian Donlevy Quatermass in the Hammer Film or the BBC TV versions? I just think I have it straight when an article contradicts what the last one I read said. I think I am going to post them separately and not label as Hammer or BBC until I can get definitive information. Can anyone help? ----------------------------------------- R

From memory -- Brian Donlevy was only in the movies. Quatermass on TV was played by various British actors.
Quatermass Xperiment and Enemy From Space are the UK and US titles for the first movie. The British spelling is a play on words for X Certificate (though that meant something different in those days!).
Thank You! That is more or less a confirmation of what I kind of surmised. The 2 concurrent sets confused more than me. The literature on the net is all over the place in describing who and what film was in which set and the order of them and each tells it as absolute fact and they summarily contradict each other. I thought the same as you that the US title for Quatermass Experiment was Enemy From Space. The Literature say that that was the American Title for Quatermass II and the American Title for Quatermass Experiment was The Creeping Unknown. The posters seem to bear that out. It is very confusing. I think I am going to just post each one with the the info that I found in the most places and see if I get any serious dissention with factual backup. Now I know that i am not crazy because I thought the same as you. Thank You! ------------------------------- R
