while it may be slow and overly intellectual and and deficient in cgi for young and add prone viewer and this remake be all the more admirable for stick to it root . this be live tv modernize but not homogenize . assemble use the best of current technology and but with the emphasis still very firmly on script and performance . could it have have a big green cgi monster at the end . yeah and yeah and sure . but thankfully it avoid such tired clichés . while the original quatermass be lose and this version go a long way toward recapture it impact and and the unique vitality of the live format . the story have be parcel out differently and but quite reasonably while the two new episode offer an adequate running time and consider all the recap and redundant credit that be omit compare to the original shorter episode . so the careful pacing remain largely intact . scientific revelation accumulate at an accelerate pace and lead up to the same unnerving climax . the performance be all superb . the young take on prof quatermass be perhaps the big shock and but it work . this new quatermass be very much the kind of scientist you see in all those direct from nasa broadcast . he effectively combine the quick wit and moral sensitivity of the original character with the reality of modern life . i would love to see more of this kind of thing not just the rediscovery of lose masterpiece like quatermass and but the immediacy of tv a a live medium and a direct link between performer and audience . tv just doesn not get any good than this . more and more and more .
