NEWS: Object Z on Blu-ray

I got a heads up recently - thank you, W. - that the BFI is issuing the first series of  the Quatermass inspired 1960s sci fi, 'Object Z'.  

"A mysterious mass – known only as Object Z – is discovered by Professor Ramsay (Ralph Nossek) as it hurtles through space, threatening earth with destruction. As society erupts into a riotous state of panic and extremist political factions attempt to snatch control, the world’s nations must unite to find a solution - in the face of potential Armageddon. Scientists June Challis (Margaret Neale) and Robert Duncan (Denys Peek) alongside television producer Peter Barry (Trevor Bannister) become embroiled in the race to find answers - but time is running out."

I've never seen the series and the place where I first read about it, 'The Hill and Beyond: Children's Television Drama - An Encyclodepia' - ironically, also published by the BFI - completely spoilered the ending but it's got a solid reputation amongst those who have and hopefully the second series will follow.  

The Blu-ray is released in September - more info here - but if you want to get a taster, you can watch the first episode is below...
