I guess you guys don't know about Sapphire and Steel, a brooding, intense British sci-fi series that starred Joanna Lumley and David McCallum as the psychic detective and her strong bodyguard who can travel through time. They also fight time itself.
There were six adventures of the show, done in 38 episodes. The best one was Adventure Five, which was written by the Dr. Who writers. It's a sci-fi version of And Then There Were None. At a 1930 theme party, time moves a mansion back in time. As it does, the people who weren't alive in 1930 are promptly murdered and then eventually forgotten by the survivors.
S and S the audio series is also available from BigFinish.com. In this series, the heroes were able to come back from the trap in limbo that their evil counterparts had put them in. (In Adventure Six of the TV show, the bad guys won, and the heroes were trapped in another dimension forever.)
S and S have sacrificed innocent people for the greater good in both the TV and audio series. This has always raised controversial reactions from their audience. Do look for the TV show transcripts on the internet and buy the audio series if you can.
Later, Howard
