Sapphire and Steel (original series) part deux

[leoniedelt]

I finished the rest of the original assignments. I really liked the one at the train station, and the one about the virus. Not so sure about Lead in the first one, but of course I love Silver.

I take back what i said about Joanna Lumley being detached, but i think Susannah Harker's Sapphire is more emotional/involved. Lumley's a great actress though, taking very seriously what had to be difficult acting circumstances.

I also think Steel needs to be used better in the audios, and was used better in season 2 than season 1, but McCallum's Steel is superb. What a hard bastard he is.  Warner's is the one that sticks in my mind, of course, being my first Steel, but i will always see McCallum, even when I listen to Warner talk.

I think both the audios and the show are superb in every way, and such a contrast to New Who and such shows. And yet just as interesting and engaging, if not more so!

edited: I even made a S&S logo icon that's a mix of the old show's sapphire and steel ball thingys, and the new logo and Big Finish on it. Yay me. Totally gankable if anyone wants it.

Iconlub, yes. Superb icon.

188mb .tar.gz, you'll need winrar to undo it i think. Unfortunate side effect of me being on linux instead of windows. Going up on megaupload now, but i may go to bed before it finishes :/

Yep, Steel's unconscious or muttering 'Maldeb' through pretty much the entire second disc from track 5 onwards, so from then on its the Sapphire and Silver show. And its a fine show at that. Silver's not so flirty, but really resourceful to get things done. I think they toned down the flirtiness because face it, David Collings doesnt sound as young as he used to, neither does David Warner.

I SWEAR i am convinced that the best actors in the world are named David. I have a running theory on this, and have been accumulating Davids to add to the list...

I thought I was the only one that noticed that!(perhaps if I have a kid I might have to name it David and see what happens lol)
I still think that even though David might be older, he's still huggibly cute! I mean, even after all this time, he's got great hair, and is terribly modest, what could be better?
I can't wait to hear this! Sapphire and Silver show sounds good to me! :D

Oh yes, i love his hair. I'd never realised how ginger it is until I watched S&S... modesty is a good thing, too.

Keep your eye peeled for my picspam. I'm doing that and then hitting the sack!

Coolness! Where should I find it?

His hair is gingery goodness, and a total blast to draw! Sometimes I think I draw too much David lol
