"Just found out that Steel has just died aged 90. " [someone knocks on the door] Robert Jardine : Who is it? Steel : Robert Steven Jardine? Robert Jardine : Yes? Steel : You asked for help. Robert Jardine : I did, yes! Steel : Then unlock the door. Robert Jardine : [unchaining the locks] That was quick. I'd only just phoned. [Sapphire and Steel enter] Robert Jardine : I don't know you! Only... the policeman at the Point! Steel : The policeman at the Point isn't coming. I contacted him and told him that everything down here is under control. Robert Jardine : But it isn't! Steel : No. That's why we're here and not him. [He walks off toward the kitchen] Sapphire : [amusedly] He's a shade too serious but you'll get used to him. Robert Jardine : But he's got no right to tell the policeman... Sapphire : Your parents have disappeared, right? Robert Jardine : Yes! Sapphire : And you want them back? Robert Jardine : Of course I want them... Sapphire : Safely? Robert Jardine : Yes. Sapphire : [pleased] Well then, your policeman at the Point with his idiot notebook and his idiot questions stands no chance of getting them back for you. But we do. | |||

"I never understood how Steel was an element, but RIP to the guy in loads of TV. pt" There's 3 answers to this Poetic licence, as PJ Hammond was not good at science. Sapphire and Steel would be Aluminium and Iron, but it doesn't have that sparkle. | |||

"Loved him in Sapphire and Steel " Same here, he reprised an RAF air crew role in one of the episodes: a nod and a wink if I ever saw one. I never got to see Watcher in the woods, the Disney film from the same era | |||

"In my not-so-blue-as-sapphire's eyes, yes It's a mixed bag, 6 assignments. Typically 6 x 30 min episode per story. This was the thinking mans' Doctor Who. Think Tom Baker's era. Low budget/high imagination and even the video frame rate, ie ghosting added to the effect. 1 nursery rhymes: proper spooky, creaky stairs and an old house (I remember this one) 2 WWW1: classic ghost story and a Mosquito Squadron reference (and this one too) 3 fast growing baby: didn't like this episode 4 landlord and tenants: not as good as assignment 1 5 dinner party/Cluedo: feels like a normal whodunnit. 6 the petrol station (I'll never forget the ending) | |||

". I remember parts of the train station one, which I'm reading was Assignment 2 (but still series 1 - there are 6 assignments over 4 series). According the votes on IMDb, Assignments 2 and 6 (which is all of series 4) are unanimously the best stories. Their 9 best episodes score between 7.7 and 8.5, and constitute 9 of people's 10 highest-rated episodes! That's maybe a good tip for people dipping in. pt | |||
