OK, I took the bait. Lured back.

I'm not at all convinced Nigel Kneale's resentment about Q-X being sold to Hammer had diddly to do with the script of Q-2. On both of them he was a staff writer, and it's not unusual at all for work done on company time to be owned by a company.

As for the discussed Nazi implicatons--I'd rather take Kneale at face value. Q-2's targets were complaceny and government treachery against its people-- plus the Quisling factor of well-fed workers working against their own interests.
