Something wrong with the clip?

Quote

Col. Breen: Mars is dead, nothing there but a few scraps of lichen. Professor Bernard Quatermass: Five million years ago it may have been very different. Suppose at that time there were living beings on it with techniques that let them visit the Earth at a time when the most highly evolved creatures here, our own ancestors, were only a type of Pliocene ape. Minister of Defense: Go on. Professor Bernard Quatermass: They may have wanted to found another colony, when their own world was doomed, but couldn't endure our atmosphere, so they experimented. Minister of Defense: Oh, and the insects were responsible? Professor Bernard Quatermass: There is clearly some connection. My guess is that those were ape mutations being brought back for release on Earth. Col. Breen: And you really believe this was possible? That apes were systematically taken from this planet to another and... Professor Bernard Quatermass: Altered, by selective breeding, atomic surgery, methods we can't guess, and with new faculties instilled in them, high intelligence, perhaps something else. Howell: In effect, a colonization. Professor Bernard Quatermass: It would be a way of possessing the Earth. Only a colony by proxy, but better than leaving nothing at all behind. Howell: Surely it had to be carried out on a hugh scale. Professor Bernard Quatermass: Yes, if I'm right, if I'm right, we've come on a single instance, probably an accident, a landing that went wrong and they all died. The Thames valley was swamp then. Minister of Defense: You realize what you are implying? That we owe our human condition here to the intervention of insects. Professor Bernard Quatermass: I suppose I am.
