This is a low key, psychologically suspenseful show. The commentaries on each "assignment" add interesting insight on the story lines, actors, and production. I really enjoy watching this show, but it might be a bit intense for my wife, who does not like scary movies. Like any TV series the opening credits can become tedious if you're watching episodes back to back, but that's what fast forward is for. If you like subtle British TV you won't go wrong with Sapphire and Steel. p
This is a late seventies early eighties UK Sci-Fi show aimed at families. It is an episodic scary Xfiles kind of Sci-Fi. The pacing of the show is too slow for my Sci-Fi loving 8 and 13 year old boys and in truth it does show it's age. Never the less it is an unusual and thought provoking set of stories put together in multiple episodes to each story. Worth your time if your a Neil Gaiman type of Sci-Fi person.
I purchased this set as I have been a David Mccallum Fan since The Man From Uncle. This is a British series, so of course I expected it to be different than what I'm used to, and it is! I am enjoying the show it reminds me of the Twilight Zone! I would't describe it as Excellent, as it is a little strange! If you like David Mccallum, you will like this set. I would recommend it on the price alone!
My qualification to review this series are. Joanna Lumley in 1/ New Avengers 76 and 77. 2/ Absolutly Fabulous season 1 and 2 and 3. and David McCallum in 1/ The Man From U.N.C.L.E complete series. This whole series was a complete disappointment to me. I tried on numerous occasions to watch it. I found it tedious and frustrating to watch. The sets reminded me of The Saint where they used the same background over and over. You may not notice it when watching an episode once a week. But to watch three in an evening makes it painfully obvious that this is a low budget production.
i watched the whole lot brought back childhood memories the series is good and old so overlook that but great show
