Though-provoking, unsettling and powerful drama with a supernatural
twist, SAPPHIRE AND STEEL was created by acclaimed TV writer PJ Hammond (Torchwood,
Ace of Wands). The show built up a massive cult following when it was
originally broadcast on ITV nearly thirty years ago and remains a much
talked about show to this day.
Dangers from the mysteries echoing along
the corridors of time face two children in a lonely house when their
parents suddenly disappear. They have not walked out - they have ceased to
exist in the time we know as the present. Equally mysteriously, two
strangers arrive on the scene. Their names are Sapphire and Steel, but who
are they? Can they bring back the parents who have been trapped by unknown
powers?
