I'm a 66 year old American man and I have always liked good science fiction including The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, etc... I only discovered Sapphire and Steel as I was looking through the DVDs in a public library of St.Louis Missouri in 2015. I liked them so much and I am now enjoying them for a second go around. As a jazz and rock lead trumpet player I had to be quick on my feet with sight reading and improvisation so I appreciate stories with low budgets but great story telling along with great acting.

I've adored Sapphire and Steel for forty years. With rare exception, there's nothing made now so intelligent, enigmatic, poetic, and sinister.
-
Joanna, the sexiest voice in history!
-
Joanna Lumley really has quite a striking look, even in her later years.
-
This is fantastic. Sapphire and Steel is probably one of the best shows ever made. Despite the low budget, the writing, acting and directing was superb. It is intelligent, original and nothing else has ever come close for me. Thanks for posting it here.

so sad the wonderful actor David Collings who played 'Silver' died on first day of UK lockdown: 23rd March 2020. He's now journeyed out there ...
-
It is only my personal opinion but I believe Sapphire & Steel would have been a serious rival for any other Sci-fi tv series with a bigger budget. For me it is Brilliant, inspiring and wonderful tv even today. It could only ever have been David & Joanna in my opinion. Thank you.

When chemistry works it just works. These two were ace together.
-
I was no child when this came on but the Railway Station one still gives me the the shivers when I here that sound, even now.
-
2020 and I still say this is one of the best TV shows EVER made.

I absolutely loved this show as a kid. It was intelligent, unique, atmospheric, with two great actors. Low budget made up for with great stories, script and acting. Nowadays programmes overuse special effects to replace actual story telling. It's like modern music all the fanfare but no substance/talent/quality.

That show scared the bejaziz out of me as a kid. In a good way. I was devastated when it ended with them locked in that room. I bought the complete series years later as an adult to re-watch, and loved it all: but couldn't bring myself to watch that last story. Wonderful hearing that the cast had a nice time making it. Thank you, all involved, for the wonderful memories and not talking-down to children ...

The actor who portrayed Silver, David Collings, passed away earlier this year. What a delight he was in this role. What a wonderful show; why can't this be re-booted for the 21st-century audiences. It would have to be better than most of what is on TV at this time!
-
We want another Sapphire and Steel series or movie!
-
Joanna Lumley and David McCallum had the most incredible onscreen chemistry - which is impossible to replicate.
-
Each assignment was gripping. A very English take on a timeless situation. Sapphire and Steel provides engagement in 2022. And it will endure. A classic. Thanks so much for posting

Loved this show. Perfectly cast & wonderfully written. Time to bring it back.

If Hitchcock had done a Science Fiction tv. series - but with really low budget... this could have been it. I love that the budget forced it to be so minimal. This series was a perfect example of 'Less is more'...
