Sapphire And Steel Have Been Assigned... In 1979 a brave new series debuted on British television. A unique blend of drama, thriller and science fiction. This box set features the complete set of 34 episodes tand 6 assignments. Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous, The Avengers) and David McCallum (The Man From Uncle) garnered a cult following as the mysterious duo Sapphire And Steel, time detectives from another dimension dispatched to correct disruptions in the fabric of Time and Space. Though short lived (in part due to the popular lead actors being constantly in demand for other productions), Sapphire and Steel is revered today as a powerful, original and much loved drama series.
