…u ever watched a Brit sci-fi show called Sapphire and Steel?…
We're always entitled to our own opinions its just a matter of right or wrong.
Never hear of the show before...
Anyways, sometimes opinions are meant to be kept mum to avoid chaos...hee
I have never seen Sapphire and Steel.
prince romp: Nope, not about a movie. Blake's Seven was about a group of outlaws. The show was pretty painful to watch, but it did produce a large number of very good exchanges.
sassy lady: As mentioned to prince romp, it was not a very good show. It was painful to watch, but it did sometimes have very clever dialogue. The two long running characters were Vila (a thief and coward) and Avon (a computer expert and completely ruthless and self interested - he had no loyalty to anyone but himself)
anyway, Sapphire and Steel was ok. I like it more cos of the stars, David McCallum (Man from U.N.C.L.E.) and Joanna Lumley (The New Avengers)!
Everyone gets gunned down, except Avon, who surrounded by armed Federation troops simply grins his psychotic grin (with the assumption that he gets it too).
