The serial has also been an influence on other television science-fiction productions.
Mark Gatiss wrote in The Guardian in 2006 that " What sci-fi piece of the past 50 years doesn't owe Kneale a huge debt?
...
The " ancient invasion " of Quatermass and the Pit cast a huge shadow ... its brilliant blending of superstition, witchcraft and ghosts into the story of a five-million-year-old Martian invasion is copper-bottomed genius.
" Gatiss was a scriptwriter for Doctor Who, a programme that had been particularly strongly influenced by the Quatermass serials throughout its history.
Derrick Sherwin, the producer of Doctor Who in 1969, acknowledged Quatermass and the Pit as an influence on changing the format of the programme.
