Storyline
Several years after the previous serial took place, Professor Quatermass is trying to perfect a dangerously unstable nuclear-powered rocket engine. After a disastrous test firing in Australia, his future son-in-law, Captain John Dillon, draws the Professor's attention to a strange hollow meteorite which interrupted an Army Training exercise. Quatermass and Dillon investigate, and discover a vast government production plant which has some connection with the meteorites. After coming in contact with the noxious gas contained inside the meteorites, Dillon is taken away by the plant's security guards. When Quatermass presses this issue with an old civil service acquaintance, he learns that the plant is supposedly making synthetic food. Both men learn that this is untrue, and that the true products of the plant will threaten the world itself. Written by Christopher M. Buckey <ChrisBuckey@nospam.msn.com>

Trivia
Monica Grey's character, Paula Quatermass, was merged with another character, an unnamed technician, shortly before the broadcast, which resulted in her character often talking to herself and answering her own questions. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: Leo Pugh claims the odds of a meteorite reaching the Earth's surface are something like "one in a billion". In reality such events are much more common. See more »Quotes
