It was that vehicle that came round to clean the drains, it had a large arm with a drum on it, the grate was removed and this thing plunged into it, I remember being absolutely terrified and would run in the house if I saw one in the street.
Did you have any irrational fears?

Amazing. That series was the only thing that scared me as a child and,like you, I watched it behind the settee pretending to my mum I was asleep whilst she was knitting and knew damn well I was watching it.
As soon as it finished she would say,"Right young man it's way past your bedtime up those stairs with you."
I used to go into my older sisters bed and wait for her to come home from Judo lessons. I was literally in a cold sweat but never missed an episode of Quatermass and the Pit. I can visualise it now. I was about 8 at the time.

We were in a serious car accident turning into our property when we were kids. Mum was waiting to turn right and a car whacked us from behind. Mum's car was written off.
To this day (40 or so years later) I cannot make a right turn into the drive unless I know the car behind has slowed behind me. If there is no car behind me I drive up the road and turn round.

In the 1950s I watched a TV adaptation of Jane Eyre and was terrified of the very early scene where she is locked up in the red room. It must have been 30+ years before I could watch any version of Jane Eyre.
As a child I recall my mother making clear vegetable soup, that night I was dreadfully sick. Even now, in my 70s I loathe clear vegetable soup. The rest of the family were fine, I'm sure it wasn't the soup really.
