Sapphire & Steel: Assignment Two: Part 5 (1979)
Season 1, Episode 11
6/10
Decent, just a bit slow.
20 September 2022
Sapphire takes up the role of Medium, and through her, Steel and Tully contact, someone who knows Sam, a teacher, who was in love with him.

We get to learn the tragic story about Sam, the reason he's so angry, and rightly so, the irony of an accidental death, having survived the dangers of The First World War, that really is cruel.

Once again it's nicely made and hugely atmospheric, finally we get to learn just who Sam Pearce is, and what happened, but I think this episode was maybe a little slow, again it feels as though the six episodes of the story could have perhaps been made into 4, some of it has been slow.

The best scene had to be where Steel watches The RAF officer checking in, that was quite a surreal moment.

Lumley's acting is a delight once again, her spiritual scenes were actually really good, nice versatility.

Pretty good, just a little slow, 6/10.
