McCallum had a huge success with US/American audiences with the MAN FROM UNCLE long before NCIS, which only brought him to even more notable fame for even more years than the earlier series did. He was classically trained in music, and came from a musical family heritage. His father, John, actually taught Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page a neat/great guitar-playing technique. McCallum can be seen playing a piano while in the form of a super-advanced human being in the very highly-regarded episode of THE OUTER LIMITS, The 6th Finger. He was also in the series (BBC-Universal) COLDITZ/excellent. But he has some great movie credits to his name, including HELL DRIVERS, A NIGHT TO REMEMBER, and THE GREAT ESCAPE. AND...sadly, RIP. One of our most beloved actors. Always first rate...and a class act.
Shape / photo man is at his most scary when Sapphire's ability to return or turn back time is used on the stairs where he seems to be most powerful ( 'yesterday, upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there, he wasn't there again today, I wish, I wish he'd go away' ). That moment where all and everyone who ever walked on those few steps is revealed in negative form, while time screams by, is consistently terrifying. Guys, like the reviews, but reactions can be done, too.
David McCallum‘s parents were musicians and he grew up being a musician and that’s why he also did music I think for the twilight zone and our limits that he doesn’t get credited for four years before he did sapphire and steel. He had played the invisible man in a TV series created by Stephen Bosko And Har Bennett who was working on the $6 million man and the bionic woman and actually the same producers and directors who had worked on the $6 million man and even the same set that was used as Dr. Wells laboratory in Colorado Springs was used as David’s laboratory
The faceless man and paper children were forever seared in to my mind as a child. I even sometimes wondered if I'd just dreamed them until i eventually got to see them as an adult.
I thought of them as "time-madics", as in emergency medics, since they show up to mend ruptures in time/intrusion of "disruptive-time" into the fabric of the everyday.
The problems occurring in museums was obviously a story for another episode that never wound up being produced due to the abrupt cancellation of the series long before all the great ideas could be addressed.
I love sapphire and steel it's charm is in it's imperfections. Discovered it on VHS years ago in charity shop and the rest on RUclips. The last Adventure is cool and the one with future archaeologists, might be same adventure it's been awhile.
saphire and steel omg did 2 seasons only 7 assigments but each assignment was 6 episodes thats 42 weeks the final episode seen them trapped by the heavy elements and the thing that was time because they where planning a 3rd season a cival war but hammond the writer said no
i remember watching this as a kid ....im now 56 ..there was a story about a WW1 soldier whistling war songs ..was very spooky looking forward to whatever this one is ....will i be scared as a big person
The 'assignments' vary in accessibility: some seem silly, others are a little too difficult for some. The 'future apartment' is the one I have the most trouble with, but the central idea is pure nightmare fuel... The railway station is probably the best for most. It's long enough to build up a true 'approaching train' level of fear, and the end... watch them, and take your time...

Guy on left is too drunk or something, or just lacks a deeper imagination. Seems stuck in the present/needs an intrusion of history...or sumptin' ;-7
Sweety Dahling (Lumley was also in Absolutely Fabulous), was the American show Remington Steele loosely based on this?
Nope.
