conclusion or ringstone round? its all quatermas to me

In an attempt to watch something intelligent on the TV and get away from the UK General election blather I turned to You Tube and Quatermas' Ringstone Round starring John Mills.

I watched the whole series a couple of years ago and after some readjustment I loved it.

Just watched episode 1 again and now starting episode 2.

Anyone else seen it?

  2. Oh crikey, now you're asking. I have kept a diary since 1979 so I'll have written it down somewhere but I'd have to do some digging. My gut reaction is weekday evening.

    1. No worries Kev, don't go to any trouble. Its interesting that it might have been a weekday and not Saturday or Sunday nights. I'm well impressed with your decades long diary!

  3. I watched it in 1979 and sadly haven't seen it since, Woodsy. I think it may have been aired on Monday nights at 9pm... but my memory being what it is, I could be mistaken?

    1. Monday nights eh Tone? That tallies with Kev's comment. It would have fitted the era really well I reckon in the late Seventies. It has a late Seventies feel doesn't it.

  4. Watched it first time round and now have it on DVD. Thought it was absolutely brilliant.

    1. It should be shown again I think Bill do you? It reminds me of the quality of the later eco-drama series Edge of Darkness with Bob peck.
