Talk:The Quatermass Experiment

message: It has been suggested on this article's Featured Article Review page that some reliability criteria be established for the Doctor Who Restoration Team website as a source. The Doctor Who Restoration Team are a group of Doctor Who fans who work within the technical side of the television industry, who since the early 1990s have provided extensive restoration to Doctor Who video and DVD releases for BBC Worldwide and latterly 2 entertain Ltd. They also performed restoration work on the Quatermass Collection DVD release in 2005, hence the link to the page on their website explaining their work on that set. The main page of their website explains a bit more about them. Independent verification of the team's activities and status comes from the official BBC Doctor Who website, and a feature in The Guardian. Angmering 21:19, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Doctor Who Restoration Team]] &mdash; reliability as a source

message: While the desire to limit fair use images is laudable, I think that it's a shame that the article has lost all screenshots save the title card.  I think that an appropriate fair use rationale could be written for including one image from each version of the programme: perhaps :Image:Quatexp02.JPG and :Image:Quatermass2005-2.jpg, as representative samples.  I don't think that the DVD covers really suffice as replacements for the screenshots, and this seems like the exact sort of circumstance for which  is intended. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was under the impression that we were generally encouraged to use only one fair use screenshot per article, which is why I removed the others and replaced them with free alternatives. Or is that a recommendation, rather than an actual policy? Angmering 12:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My understanding is that if screenshots add distinct information to the article, or accompany relevant critical commentary about distinct elements in the article, you can have more than one.  It's a slightly fuzzy area in our policies: there's some discussion here and, more recently, here — the latter shows a case where the fair use experts thought there were too many fair use images, which I don't think would be the case here.  I think that one screenshot from each version of the programme would be acceptable.  If you're willing to brave the storms at Wikipedia talk:Fair use we could ask for clarification there, but I fear that you'd get contradictory answers, since fair use is such a disputed issue. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 18:18, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I'll put Tate back in, although I'll reduce the resolution of it on the image page as I have with the title caption. I'll grab a new one for the 2005 shot, though, as that download copy screengrab is fairly ghastly. Angmering 18:40, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

message: "In America the film was renamed The Creeping Unknown after the title Shock! was considered for that territory [?], and an alternative opening title sequence with that name was prepared." What does this mean exactly? Marskell 12:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was using "terriroty" instead of "country"... erm... not sure why. They went so far as to make an opening title sequence using Shock! for the US, before they decided on The Creeping Unknown instead. Phrasing is a bit ugly, isn't it? Apologies. Angmering 13:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The Quatermass Experiment achieved favourable viewing figures in 1953, opening with an estimated audience of 3.4 million for the first episode, building to 5 million for the sixth and final episode, and averaging 3.9 million for the entire serial. The Times estimated that one year before The Quatermass Experiment was broadcast, in August 1952, the total television audience consisted of about 4 million people. In March of that year, the BBC estimated that an average of 2.25 million people watched BBC programmes each evening. 
Almost all the standard viewer numbers predate the Coronation, which in popular myth at least is supposed to have massively increased the number of television sets in homes. Are there any figures available for potential audience numbers in July 1953? Timrollpickering (talk) 02:16, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
