"“The Series That Time Forgot?”
It may be the ultimate cult series that you’ve never heard of: X-Files meets Dr. Who with a sprinkling of Dark Shadows to boot. Courtesy of our good friend and Irish correspondent, John, this week Horror Etc delves back into the case files of Sapphire & Steel – the ITV series which starred David McCallum and Bond girl / Ab Fab star Joanna Lumley as interdimensional operatives saving humanity from… time! Sound bizarre? Mix in adventures featuring ghouls and ghosts and other mysterious forces, and one gets the feeling that this forgotten gem might deserve to have a resurgence of interest (or in the very least a Horror Etc spotlight special).
Now of course the show is fondly remembered, especially in the UK where new audio productions are currently being produced by the fine folks at Big Finish. But Sapphire & Steel never enjoyed the same success as other Brit imports such as Blake’s 7 or Dr. Who outside of the UK… does time win after all? Tune in to this week’s episode and discover what may very well be your next favourite cult classic series!
We’re making up for some lost time with this first of two episodes this week. Huge thanks to John for the fantastic contributions.
