Nigel Kneale

Continuing on from my previous post, note this excerpt:

2000 – Nigel Tranter, Scottish historian and author (b. 1909)

His first name stands out, given the MacGregor's new pup, Nigel, note this excerpt from their recent September 9 post: WHILE WE WAIT FOR IRMA :

• Noah (big dog) and Nigel (little pup) are getting acquainted while we wait for Irma.

 And it's interesting to note that Nigel comes from Neil (meaning cloud or champion) and so we get a cryptic "kneel...

And since we have a "Nigel/Neil" pattern-cluster in the works, I decided to venture over to the Nigel wiki page.  The list was long so I don't intend to investigate all, butt one stood out:

• Nigel Kneale, scriptwriter

So his name is a cryptic "Kneel Kneel"!!  Note from his wiki page:

• Thomas Nigel Kneale (18 April 1922 – 29 October 2006)

And so his first name is actually Thomas... which makes it even more meaningful given that it means "twin" in origin... an addition to the "Twin Theme" pattern-cluster... and a particular inner twin trade mark signature.  And so the cryptic communication becomes "twin kneel kneel"... a reference of the fact that when one knee bends in kneeling, so does the other.  Note form Nigel Kneale's wiki page:

• Predominantly a writer of thrillers that used science-fiction and horror elements, he was best known for the creation of the character Professor Bernard Quatermass.

What stands out in the above is the surname of the character re Quatermass, given the following excerpt from my earlier post today, Something About Maria:

• David King-Wood  (12 September 1913 – 3 September 2003) as Colonel Patchway

One of the cast stands out in particular given the "King" in his name... and because he was born and died in September... the month we're in now.  As well there's the cryptic phrase in his name re: "day see king would/wood".  On King-Wood's wiki page he has one other film listed, and it happens to have been released in '55 as well:

• The Quatermass Xperiment (1955)

Note from the Quatermass Xperiment wiki page:

...  based on the 1953 BBC Television serial The Quatermass Experiment written by Nigel Kneale

 Now how did I miss him in my earlier investigation?!
