5.0 out of 5 stars Assign yourself to this mystery , 23 Jul 2007
By Mr. D. Swan "manmonkey" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I'd love to meet the Lunatic who thought that this program was appropriate Children's Tea Time viewing, It's a wonder any child in the Late 70's got any sleep at all between being terrified by Dr Who and Deeply Psychologically scared by this. Sapphire and Steel do share the similar plot vehicle of time with Dr Who but that is the only thing these alien Time Detective/ Police share , the similarities end there and it's the differences that make this a must for SCI FI fans.

Watching this program as an adult it's easier for me to appreciate it's quality script and excellent characterization, David McCallum has always been an excellent actor, we've always known that but who was to know that Joanna Lumley wasn't just a pretty face, There's never that many actors in any of the episodes, the stories are small ensemble pieces usually set in small claustrophobic environments, The rather subdued lighting heightens that feeling of being hemmed in by intimidating mystery, the stories themselves seem slightly confusing, again this only adds to the mystery, as if everything going on is slightly beyond your feeble comprehension, these are matters for aliens who's knowledge far surpasses your own. There are no weak stories on this collection, there all quite excellent and all as equally weird, You couldn't make a program like this now'a'days, it's too visceral, too weird and unsettling, How they managed to get that amazing cast for a children's Teatime program I'll never know, in fact why is it a childrens program??, this is a very adult program to be watched late at night with the lights down, prepare to be captivated and disturbed by this classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back Sapphire and Steel, on DVD at long last!, 27 Oct 2006
By Kali "bengaligirl" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This was a real attempt at intelligent sci-fi and though I loved it I knew it would never be a hit in the way that the X-Files was, simply because it was far too intelligent for your average sci-fi watcher.

I was amazing it lasted as long as did.

I am really glad the whole series is on DVD as the VHS versions are real clunkers in that each adventure is on two tapes, so you end up with a HUGE collection of video tapes if you wanted the whole series.

I think Joanna Lumley and David McCallum are great as Sapphire and Steel, two beings sent to sort out rips and problems in time that could devastate the universe if left unchecked.

My favourite adventure was the railway station, it was very atmospheric but all of the adventures had their own merits and I loved the quirky way that Lumley and McCallum bounced off each other, one wry, the other droll, both human but not human.

Many people think this series has dated badly but I actually think it has done okay, considering it was a pioneer in its own genre and well worth buying and watching again just for the sheer brilliance of what the writers and producers were trying to do in a time of bad hair, bad clothes, bad songs, bad movies (with certain exceptions) and even worse actors!
