Quiz
During the rehearsals for the film, David Tennant was offered the role of the Tenth Doctor in Doctor Who (2005). This casting was not announced to the public until April 16, 2005, two weeks after the broadcast, but his fellow castmembers, and crew, became aware of the speculation surrounding Tennant. In the live broadcast, Jason Flemyng changed Quatermass' first line to Tennant's character Dr. Gordon Briscoe from "Good to have you back, Gordon" to "Good to have you back, Doctor" as a deliberate reference.

Blooper
When they show Victor the film in the hospital, we are looking through the transparent screen towards Victor. But the countdown numbers at the start of the film appear the right way round to us so they'd be the wrong way round for those watching from the other side of the screen.

The 2005 Simply Home Entertainment DVD release contains over 50 small or major differences, notably Adrian Bower's line-drying being replaced with the tech rehearsal sequence prerecorded from the previous night (52:02), and the removal of a loud offscreen crash following an exit from Adrian Dunbar (1:07:49). The strapline "Major news announcement on BBC NEWS 24 now" (alerting viewers to the death of Pope John Paul II) is another noticeable if understandable omission.

Quatermass BBC 4

Like the previous poster, I too was impressed by the Quatarmass drama aired live on BBC4 on April 2nd. Though I am too young to remember the original and its various adaptations, I had heard enough about it to convince myself that this would be some schlock 1950s-style "creature feature" sci-fi fest. Instead, the BBC served up a couple of hours live science fiction, that although short on special effects was not short on tension and creditable performances. Jason Flemyng's performance as the eponymous Professor was one that captured well the scientist's terror at what his experiment unleashed combined with the cool, detached analytic mind of the scientist trying to sort it all out. The mix of studio and location settings in a live drama was ambitious and cuts between them were seamless, the use of VT was a bit of a cheat, but hey they used to do it in Z cars all the time. This was, nevertheless a triumph for live television, a credit to all those involved.
