    Saphire and Steel...

    All irregularities will be handled by the forces controlling each dimension. Trans-uranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life. Medium atomic weights are available - Gold, Lead, Copper, Jet, Diamond, Radium, Sapphire, Silver, and Steel. Sapphire and Steel have been assigned.

    Joanna Lumley and David McCallum played the main roles. This show was superb and screams for a remake!

    How scary, random and just plain evil was the direction and tone of the show. What the hell was going on? You just did not know at all.

    Pure class.

    I found this for those who might be interested.

    Sapphire and Steel was a late '70s, early '80s British Sci-Fi series, starring David McCallum (Man from U.N.C.L.E.) and Joanna Lumley (The New Avengers). It was set on Earth and involved two extra-terrestrial, paranormal detectives, with unknown abilities, sent by an unknown agency, to investigate and deal with breaks in time and any creatures that escape into the normal Universe through these breaks. At least, that's what they claim....

    The agency has three divisions - investigators, operators and specialists. Investigators check over any incidents and forward their findings to the operators, who then carry out the bulk of the work. If expertise in specific fields are required, then specialists in that field can be called upon. More than this is never revealed in the series and even this much is given as vague hints and obscure references.

    The main two characters in the series - Sapphire and Steel - are operators. Two others appear - Lead and Silver - but there are a total of 127 on active duty. (115 according to Steel, as the transuranics are unstable.) Both Lead and Silver are specialists - Lead in force-fields and Silver in anything technical.

    Other organisations exist, though - and some are not so friendly. Strange creatures exist at the extreme ends of time, with the ability to travel through the time corridor, looking for ways to break through.... Mysterious transient beings, with terrifying powers, can be hired as assassins...Secret, poweful organisations vie for power over time itself... Nothing is safe - nether past norpresent - even from those who guard it...

    Chocky...

    Based on a John Wyndam story, Chocky was brilliant. An alien entity sent to accelerate our development by increasing the intelligence of selected children. It was wicked!
