Re: saphire and steel

There Was 1 Episode Which Really Freaked Me- It Was The 1 About The Man On The Stairs With No Face. I Can Still Remember The Spooky Poem They Had In The Episode Which Went 'as I Was Walking Up The Stairs, I Met A Man Who Wasn't There, He Wasn't There Again Today, How I Wish He'd Go Away.' Given Me Butterflies Even Writing It!!!

Re: saphire and steel

There is the first episode of Sapphire and Steel available on You Tube (or it was at the beginning of 2009). It is split into several episodes but deffo watchable. I remember it freaking me a bit first time round.

I recently watched a S&S story on Youtube (for me the most memorable story)..the WW1 armistice 'ghost' one...forgot all about the sad/shocking ending where Steel sacrifices the fella (Tully?) to the spirits

Re: saphire and steel

i remember seeing this when i was young and at the time i didn`t have a clue as to who they where or what is was they where suppose to be doing, but now i`m older i brought a box set with 6 dvd`s, and while it is still a wierd series i now have some idea as to what is happening, there is 6 assignments in the box set, but they don`t have titles so i`ll try to list what each is about.
assignment 1: is set in a farm house, a young girl is singing an old nursery rhyme, and people disappear, this episode also features lead.
a2: is set in a train station where a ghost is feeding on resentment.
a3: is set in an invisable house, where a family from the future is attacked by a force sent by time itself, silver also turns up to help out.
a4: is set in a junk shop, an unknown entity with no face is creating children from photos, and he is also hiding in the photos.
a5: is set in a posh house of a well to do family, this episode is almost like an episode of columbo, and it shows why people shouldn`t mess with time.
a6: is set in a petrol station, in this episode we get to see the heavy elements, although why they are so dangerous is only hinted at in this episode, and silver is also in it, this episode also concludes the series and explains why they may never return.
i hope this info helps other remember this series, it`s a shame there`s only 6 episodes, i would love to see more of these two in action.

Re: saphire and steel

There are so few shows that deserve the title of "classic" when you re-watch them years later.Most can dissapoint and don't live up to memories.This show was so good then and is still very good to watch now it must be nothing short of a true TV classic in every sence.It's spooky and menacing without all that blood and gore you get with horror.It keeps you on the edge of your seat,and the characters just suck you in to the events that are unfolding around them.The complete DVD set did not dissapoint and is a worthy investment for anybody that likes a bit of sci fi or a spooky unsettling atmosphere.And that sapphire is sure a good looking lady.One of my favourite late 70's early 80's programs.

Re: Sapphire and Steel

There have been continual rumours of new episodes since the original show finished all those years ago.Why oh why they did not continue is a big mystery as the show itself was extreamly popular.Have a feeling it may of been an early casualty when they started to do away with the regional stations.The tv strike did not do the show any favours either.

Re: saphire and steel

It just never made sense to me as a kid and even now - and I thought it was naff - lol. I also remember both actors haircuts practically matched - like bowlcuts...!

It really was an amazing series, and it's still impressive today. I think that bizarre cliffhanger ending has ensured its place in history.
