However, [[Lance Parkin]] has stated that he meant to visualise the elderly, nearly crazed {{w|John Mills}} version from the {{w|Quatermass (TV serial)|fourth and final Quatermass serial}} as the one who appeared in the [[Virgin New Adventures]] novel ''[[The Dying Days (novel)|The Dying Days]]''. | ||

One may assume that because Bernard Quatermass is real, ''Nightshade'' effectively replaces ''Quatermass'' in the Doctor Who Universe (although ''[[Background (DWPM 7 short story)|Background]]'' implied that the first ''Quatermass'' serial, at least, existed within the DWU as documentary footage which had been passed off as fiction as part of a cover-up). | In the ''Doctor Who'' universe, the ''[[Nightshade (series)|Nightshade]]'' serials ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Nightshade (novel)|Nightshade]]'') have many similarities to the ''Quatermass'' serials.
