Sapphire and Steel: The Complete Series: DVD Review
Released by Madman Home Ent
"Sapphire and Steel have been assigned"
The stuff of nightmares in the 70s thanks to its surreal edges and darker nature, Sapphire and Steel was a curio of a series, an oddball collection of weirdness.
Centring on two agents (David McCallum and Joanna Lumley), the stories ranged from the supernatural to the sci-fi as they tackled adventures in unknown dimensions.
The cult series is still an odd watch, but over a six disc series, nicely restored, Madman's latest TV release reminds of how chances used to be taken in the heady days of television.
It still won't be to everyone's tastes, but it's essential viewing to anyone interested in the history of Cult TV and in why Sapphire and Steel is spoken of in such reverential and exalted terms.
