Second Edition. Sapphire & Steel was not widely screened outside the UK, but its influence on modern Doctor Who was seemingly confirmed when Sapphire & Steel creator PJ Hammond was invited to write for Russell T Davies' Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood. TV legends David McCallum (NCIS, Man from UNCLE) and Joanna Lumley (New Avengers, Absolutely Fabulous) starred as Sapphire and Steel in a brilliant, dark, spooky and flirtatious series where they played investigators from out of this world, who come to fight the forces of Time itself. Promoted as ATV's rival to Doctor Who, the series has lasting power and remains a cult favourite, its following continuing to grow thanks to DVD releases and a loyal fan-base online. Now this little book attempts to go inside and try to work out just why Sapphire & Steel is so good and so influential. Featuring story synopsis, analysis and reviews. Cover by Kevin Langille.
