Its success paved the way for two more six-part serials: "Quatermass II" in 1955 and "Quatermass and the Pit" in 1958. Early television technology considerably influenced the quality of the broadcast product: almost all productions were broadcast live from a small studio, with inserts shot on 35 mm film at the beginning and end of episodes. After the invention of videotape the production could be recorded for re-runs. In November 1960 the BBC televised a thirteen-episode adaptation of Charles Dickens's "Barnaby Rudge". In December of that year it broadcast a four-episode dramatization of Jane Austen's "Persuasion".
