So... I caught an episode of ITV's Sanctuary the other night: it's trailed as a sort of Pirmeval meets X-Files meets Fortean Times.  How good was it?  Well, ITV never do this sort of thing well, so could they do it enthusiastically badly?

Invisible carnivore tribbles.

Invisible carnivore tribbles that give off buckets of pheromones, no less, and looks-to-camera when things get absurd.  I think they've got a winner.

There's been some Eugene Tooms-alikes and Jack the Ripper, and a crime boss with patagia. I think the fish-head guy's new.

I'm not sure it's even Dark Angel - I mean, it is, but I think they're reaching all the way back to Beauty and the Beast for their references.

Tangent, but I finally found a steampunk amber ring - I got one from this Etsy shop, they do really nice work.

I'd forgotten about Beauty and the Beast until now... and now I've had to spend most of my workday explaining dreadful 80s telly to my colleagues. They hadn't heard of Sapphire and Steel, I mean, really!

Nice shinies!
