You could've saved a visit to the flicks by just looking out of your window as it happened.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-5856223112447859222015-04-17T16:05:32.518+01:002015-04-17T16:05:32.518+01:00I loved the 3 Quatermass films, especially the thi...I loved the 3 Quatermass films, especially the third, "Quatermass And The Pitt, ( I mean 'Pit')", but you cannot take your attention off it for a second, as by cramming all the episodes into a fast-moving 90 odd minute film, if you blink you will miss a vital part of the plot. The keen-eyed might have noticed that it was filmed at the very same (Hammer) set as " Daleks! - Invasion Earth, 2150 AD"!<br />Weird coincidence, when I went to see it at the flicks, I was actually living in a flat in Hobb's Lane, (where it took place)!John Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035300858247327343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-56378276897754937942015-04-17T00:50:35.656+01:002015-04-17T00:50:35.656+01:00I remember seeing it in Starburst the day I bought...I remember seeing it in Starburst the day I bought it, Cer, but at the time I didn't yet know it was by the same artist who'd drawn Charlie's Choice. It was also Brian who illustrated the cover of Starburst #1.

I've never seen it but it sounds absolutely nuts :-)<br /><br />I did have a copy of this Brian Lewis special but I'm not sure if I still have it. It's probably at the back of a cupboard somewhere. There were some pretty good strips in there. Although most of them were reprinted from House Of Hammer, "Spaceburst" was originally published in the first issue of the venerable Starburst.Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-26080522297471532482015-04-16T20:54:59.815+01:002015-04-16T20:54:59.815+01:00I believe it is, CJ.

Of course years later I discovered there really was such a film - I've never seen it but I believe it's a cheap Hong Kong kung-fu film, isn't it ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
