Ah-HA! The box-set of Sapphire and Steel that I ordered?
Has officially been delivered … !
And I have to admit, I’ve been having a bit of a binge watch: certainly of Assignment’s 1 and 2.
Actually Assignment 2 — Story 2, Adventure 2, whatever ever you want to call it — is the notorious one: set in an abandoned railway station, it sees our heroes dealing something — something — lurking on the footbridge connecting the two platforms of a railway station.
It’s got to be said, this particular one … has a very slow pace.
But … ?
But ALSO ramps up the tension in a way I think very little modern TV shows do.
With the possible exception of a couple of Torchwood episodes, Small Worlds and From Out Of The Rain. Which, by a huge co-incidence, where written by Sapphire and Steel creator, P. J. Hammond.
It just goes to show, I think.
You can’t keep a seriously spooky writer down …
