It's not an element, but we don't care

"All irregularities will be handled by the forces controlling each dimension. Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is Life. Medium atomic weights are available -- Gold, Lead, Copper, Jet, Diamond, Radium, Sapphire, Silver, and Steel. -- Sapphire and Steel have been assigned..."

That is all.

That always made me giggle.

The 80s: better in recollection than they ever were at the time and ever will be if you see 'em again.

I used to love the episodes with the "guest elements".

Silver was a dude. Or at least I thought so when I was like 4 or something. I liked ABBA too.

You could mistake Sapphire for an element if you were a kid, but Abba? They were a band!

I just remember it being really weird, that sort of weird you get when you're all migrainey in a hotel, somewhere you don't belong and you can't quite work out what or why or who is going on.

That's a show I somehow managed never to watch - I remember David McCallum more from the Invisible Man series - and I only heard that opening when I bought the Cult Fiction CDs. I much preferred the crazy world of U.F.O., not to mention the funky title music. Then I watched The Prisoner, and the world suddenly made sense. It's been like that ever since.

Funny you should mention that...

Spooky!

And we've got a system like that at work, too. :)
