The unofficial podcast of the British Experimental Rocket Group, where Jon Dear and Howard David Ingham talk Quatermass with a variety of guests.
In this episode of BERGCAST we take to the high seas as, rather than performing our usual deep dive, we stay afloat in the Kneale-scripted 1962 broadsides-and-sails spectacular HMS Defiant. Joined by film academics Prof. Melanie Williams and Dr. Mark Fryers, we investigate whether a ship is the best metaphor for the British class system, how Dirk Bogarde went from being known for light comedies to being a go to for faintly pervy villains, why the British don‘t do revolutions and ask the question: is the real villain always in middle management?
