Sapphire & Steel (TV Series) Assignment Two: Part 2 (1979) User Reviews

The Mystery and Intrigue continue.

Steel calls in the help of Tully, and the pair trade knowledge. A first world war Soldier is seen on the platform, and seems to be full of anger and loathing, other ghosts are seen, from different points in time.

It's definitely an interesting second episode of this story, there's plenty of interest, and some intriguing ideas put about, once again it looks really nice, and it's loaded with atmosphere.

I thought the encounter with the first world war Soldier was an excellent moment.

I still feel as though I'm still getting to grips with just how much power these two have, definite of another world, but I don't think we know the extent to what the pair are capable of.

7/10.

Assignment Two: Part 2

[Prismark10 · 6/10 · 7 July 2020]

Sapphire sees soldiers going to the first world war. All see the ghost of one soldier who died in battle.

However Sapphire, Steel and Tully are not just seeing visions of dead world ware one soldiers. There is a recording of people dying in a submarine which was built after world war one.

Even Steel ends up inhibiting the body of a fighter pilot about to crash his plane.

The first two episodes have a slow build up. Tully does not see anything sinister about the soldier called Sam Pearce unlike Steel who senses something dark is in play.

This comes about when he listens to Tully's recordings and hears the submarine crew. Something Tully had not heard even though he taped it.

Despite the slow build up, the episode remains atmospheric and great stage direction is used to turn the room where Steel is sitting into a fighter plane.
