Sapphire and Steel.

Just rewatched the final series of Sapphire And Steel and oh my giddy aunt what a weird and uncanny turn it was. I had forgot just how strange this wonderful series could be.Set in a very drab yet ordinary transport cafe and garage. our heroes, including a very impressive turn by David Collings as Silver, find themselves facing off against a group of entities called The Transient Beings. In this story there are the by now usual creeping eeriness dogging their steps building to an unnerving and seemingly inescapable trap. I do not know if this was intended as a cliffhanger to the series or if the creators wanted to shock us by having a shocking ending intended for the two main characters. Since it was never resolved I can only imagine they are still there,stuck, with a birds eye view of eternity.
