I encountered Sapphire & Steel as a teenager; it played late at night and I would sneak through the house to watch it illicitly and then equally secretly phone a friend after each episode to analyse it in detail.
What a wonderful way to watch the show. Like the pair of you were solving it in secret from time, too.
Such haunting, beautiful television, with its precise but dreamlike logic, and he and Lumley made it work so well.
They did. It is still unusual for me to like the main characters of any narrative so much. The nonhumanness was such an important part of it, but the actors had to be able to carry it off and they made it look like just the way they were.

I'm sorry!
