[edit] Nigel Kneale on Doctor Who

Despite Nigel Kneale's criticisms of Doctor Who he of course cannot denied that many people who became fans of Quatermass as a result of being Doctor Who fans. I for instance found out about Quatermass through Doctor Who. If it wasn't for Doctor Who Quatermass would have been a complete memory and that it was the foundation of British sci-fi TV would have been scarely relevant. Given the fact that infamous Doctor Who hater Michael Grade has admitted publicly that he loves the new Doctor Who series I can only hope that Kneale has converted as well. After all the Quatermass remake feature in its cast Mark Gatiss a writer of the new Doctor Who and David Tennant who has replaced Christopher Eccleston as Doctor Who. Despite Kneale's distaste of Doctor Who that is not going to stop me as a Doctor Who fan from watching Quatermass when I get the chance. --The Shadow Treasurer 8 July 2005 01:49 (UTC)

Oh I quite agree - I doubt there's a person who's seen both shows who, if they like one, doesn't like the other. But this is an article about Kneale, so we have to concentrate on his thoughts on the matter really, rather than being a general piece on SF fandom. Angmering 8 July 2005 11:26 (UTC)
