I’m thinking sci-fi – Plan 9 from Outer Space?

Ooh – I thought people might head in that direction; good guess, but no cigar…

Some kind of London-set Hammer Horror film?

I was thinking one of the Quatermass serials?

You’ve got Quatermass on the brain at the moment… Nope, sorry.
Time for clues I guess:
1. It’s American
2. It’s not horror, science fiction or fantasy
3. It was a direct influence on a subsequent popular television series
