Death
When the BBC commissioned a second Quatermass serial in 1955, Tate was eager to take part and play the Professor again. Production was due to begin in September, and on 7 August 1955 he produced his first television play, Night Was Our Friend. Only sixteen days before this, late at night on 23 August, he collapsed outside of his home in London. He had suffered a heart attack, and despite being rushed to hospital in Putney he died shortly afterwards.
