Sapphire and Steel – Reassigned

In 2021 I wrote about the television series created by PJ Hammond Sapphire and Steel, beginning with a television series starring Joanna Lumley and David McCallum their appearances in comic book form and then the Big Finish Audio company version of the series starring David Warner and Susanna Harker.

At that time, both David McCallum and David Warner were still with us. So I even went as far as imagining what a continuation would look like with a new cast taking over the respective roles.

The TV series is currently available on some form of streaming service and available on DVD, however at the time of writing my reviews the audio were not physically available from Big Finish themselves only on the secondary market and extremely expensive.

However in the last 24 hours working with ITV studio who currently it would appear hold a license for Sapphire and Steel, Big finish audio Productions, are now offering for download the original stories they created in 2005 not as individual stories but as three series.

The four-part stories in each series are:

Series One:

The Passenger by Steve Lyons

Daisy Chain by Joseph Lidster

All Fall Down by David Bishop

The Lighthouse by Nigel Fairs

Dead Man Walking by Nigel Fairs (based on a story by John Ainsworth)

Series Two:

The School by Simon Guerrier

The Surest Poison by Richard Dinnick

Water Like a Stone by Nigel Fairs

Cruel Immortality by Nigel Fairs

Perfect Day by Steve Lyons

The Mystery of the Missing Hour by Joseph Lidster

Series Three:

Second Sight by Nigel Fairs

Remember Me by John Dorney

Zero by Steve Lyons

Wall of Darkness by Nigel Fairs.

The cost of this first series £19.99 the second series is £24.99 and the third series £19.99.

Having read the promotional page it would appear the only difference between the original publication of these stories is the cover art that will appear along side the download and a new additional 30 minute behind the scenes material featurette for each series.

The above link will take you to the page on the Big Finish website where they can be purchased. I offer this information as just that information.

Having written about Sapphire and Steel in the past I felt it was my duty, to past on this extra information so you can have a more complete narrative. And will not spend over the odds to obtain a complete collection of Sapphire and Steel stories.
