DeeMack – thanks for the above. In utter dissynchronicity, I happened, on Oct1st, 2008, to borrow from my local library, The Andromeda Breakthrough by Fred Hoyle & John Elliot which seems to be an appreciation of “A for Andromeda”, commentary and other bits’n’pieces from the cutting room floor. Oddly I’d never seen the 1961 BBC TV version but have read references to it for many a long year.
So now I’m inspired to read the origina and try to find the 1961 version. Rather like “Qatermass & the Pit” and the early ‘Dr Who’s, the tension & thrill is in the writing, not SFX
