Stone Tape
"The Stone Tape" was one of the last plays Nigel Kneale wrote for the BBC. He had become increasingly disenchanted with the organisation, mainly as a result of the rejection of several scripts such as "Cracks", a proposed "Play for Today", and a fourth "Quatermass" serial. Moving to Independent Television, he wrote and created series such as "Beasts" and "Kinvig" and succeeded in getting his rejected "Quatermass" scripts produced in 1979. He died in 2006.
