Lola has been watching The Quatermass Experiment with me

Great flick.

Lola is lovely. Cats know so much more than we think.

Poor Henry

Aww, she's lovely. I miss having cats so much. This year might be the year to foster again. Maybe even adopt if I'll allow myself!

DAD! This is NOT DOCTOR WHO!! 🐱

The only one I like is Quatermass and the Pit. That is great.

Are you talking about the films? This is the original TV version.

Yes, I saw that too. Not as tense as the film. I wish more were made and made it across the pond because I liked the idea of the character

Thanks to @tobyhadoke.bsky.social's book on The Quatermass Experiment, I now know the crucial role of Miss Wilde's cat was recast between the first and third episodes due to the original cat being uncooperative https://tenacrefilms.bigcartel.com/product/the-quatermass-experiment-the-making-of-tv-s-first-sci-fi-classic

If I was making a live TV drama I would simply not have a cat in it, but Nigel Kneale and Rudolph Cartier were made of different stuff I guess

The book also contains exclusive pictures of both cats on set, if that tempts you to buy
