So the character was renamed Dr. Royston. <br /><br />The Quatermass Experiment (US title: The Creeping Unknown) and Quatermass 2 (US: Enemy From Space) were based on British TV serials. A third series, Quatermass and the Pit, was adapted to a feature film by Hammer in 1967. In the US, it was released under the title Five Million Years to Earth. <br /><br />A final series, The Quatermass Conclusion, was broadcast in Great Britain in 1979.
