Has there ever been a stranger prime time television show than Sapphire and Steel? That’s not even a question. Interdimensional medium weight elements are given human form in order to investigate and repair anomalies in time. It wavered between terrifying and ridiculous,but, for better or worse, it was out there, so much so that it is full of odd, irrelevant shots and details, as if even the director didn’t understand it, so filmed everything just in case it was important. 

Here are some screenshots from their third adventure, The Creatures Revenge, which can be summarised as ‘people from the 35th century get trapped in 1980 and are attacked by a malevolent force representing the extinct flora and fauna of the future’. It’s very odd telly, but standard Sapphire and Steel.
