Despite this trauma, Quatermass continues with his space programme, now called the British Rocket Group, and by "Quatermass II" (1955) is actively planning the establishment of Moon bases. In this serial we see his daughter, Paula Quatermass, who works as an assistant at the Rocket Group, but there is no sign of a wife or other children. In the fourth episode of the serial he mentions that he never reached his twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, tying in with "The Quatermass Memoirs"' later assertion of his wife's early death.
