50 something geek. Just trying to get by on this insignificant blue green planet orbiting an unremarkable yellow sun. Really love Doctor Who, Tori Amos & random 80s/90s mostly forgotten pop culture, so be warned most of my posts will be about those

Apart from the Hammer Quatermass movies and the Peter Cushing Dr Who/Dalek films are there any other TV serials that got adapted into movies ? (As in a story made for TV then turned into a film) ?
