Anna wants to know if Sapphire and Steel is worth watching. I've tried to help her out, but feel free to go over and offer your own advice. A little searching on YouTube reveals you can find some of the episodes on there now (mostly unembeddable unfortunately). But this one from the fourth “Assignment” is embeddable and is a fairly good sampler, particularly since PJ Hammond says he's going to use elements from it in his next Torchwood episode.
Buy the complete series on DVD, my friends: you know it makes sense.

That title sequence still sends a shiver down my spine. Just brilliant. S&S is one of my earliest TV watching memories (along with Lalla Ward being attacked by those spider things in Full Circle).

It is brilliant, isn't it? I prefer the slightly enhanced "Assignment six" version, but they're all good. Complete gibberish, scientifically, but who cares?

There's something about the phrase "Transuranic, heavy elements may not be used where there is life"...

You're not wrong. But are the transuranics the same as the transient beings? Sapphire and Steel anoraks - feel free to discuss among yourselves.
