Nigel Kneale was pissed off by Val Guests casting of Brian Donlevy in The Quatermass Xperiment, and the '57 Quatermass II movie, which btw the Quatermass 2 is professor Quatermass's second rocket. The title of the film was also based on the second BBC serial. The film of which these titles belong is 1967 UK release, the same year the Doctor Who serial "The Web of Fear" aired on BBC 1. In the US it was retitled "Five Million Years to Earth."
