Quatermass II

S01E04: The Coming

Pugh finds that the objects are coming from an asteroid and Quatermass goes with journalist Hugh Conrad to talk to the workforce from the Plant. That night, many objects fall in the area to be collected by the guards.

Overview

The serial sees Professor Bernard Quatermass of the British Experimental Rocket Group being asked to examine strange meteorite showers. His investigations lead to his uncovering a conspiracy involving alien infiltration at the highest levels of the British Government. As even some of Quatermass's closest colleagues fall victim to the alien influence, he is forced to use his own unsafe rocket prototype, which recently caused a nuclear disaster at an Australian testing range, to prevent the aliens from taking over mankind.
