First season, very similar. Nursery rhymes and the first audio is set on a train. Lots of 'its ok to be gay' stuff in The Lighthouse and teenage suicide in 'Daisy Chain'. Lots of hot button issues, not sure i like how they handled some of them. Still enjoyed David Warner's voice though, mmm.
'All Fall Down' with Silver was *superb* and the 'School' was pretty damn good too.
Second season, they're finding their feet and branching out, able to do more different kinds of things within the limits of audio and the show's premise.
'Water Like a Stone' was ok, i guess. Cruel Immortality is *superb* and the ending a total surprise.
So, they're getting there, and really finding the characters. I think Warner's Steel is a bit less effective than McCallum's because Steel himself doesn't have a lot in terms of skills, whereas Sapphire has lots of things she can do, and in the audio format, its very limiting. Whereas McCallum would've grabbed someone by the arm and dragged them across the room, Warner just shouts a lot and is grumpy because you can't see him physically.
Harker's Sapphire is a lot more emotionally involved in the stories, and gentler/devoted towards Steel, almost as if she loves him.
Silver's a massive flirt, who after Assignment 6, i suspect is shagging both Sapphire and Steel :D The audios didnt change that either, he's still just as naughty.
I do however, think Warner's Steel is more ruthless than McCallum's. I think Warner's Steel's been around long enough that he's prepared to do whatever it takes to sort the problem out, whereas McCallum had a slight soft touch sometimes.
I always got that idea about Silver. There's always this tension between him and Steel because of the flirting over Sapphire. At first when I started watching Sapphire and Steel I thought that they would have made a cute couple, then Silver came in, and booooy did my mind change! I'm waiting for my chance to snag a copy of 'All Fall Down', until then I have to be paitent and sit tight with Deva, Poul, Mawdryn, and televised Silver :D
I watched McCallum before I heard Warner in the audios, but even then, when I hear Warner speak I think of Warner from The Omen as Jennings! lol
*highfivesyou* Dude! I think I found my new best bud! lol If you could upload it for me I would really appreciate it! If Steel's down for the count, I'm totally there to see Silver at play! I'm so relieved to find another Warner/Collings fan. I'm in a family that pretty much dispises anything british, so I get scoffed for my fixation of Warner, Collings, and even Paul Darrow! I so agree with you about Silver and Sapphire, it's hard not to miss that! I have tons of screencaps that make me assume that they can't get their hands off eachother! lol If you need any pics, give me a hollar. I have pics of Collings from all kinds of things...even the obscure Look and Read part as Lord Dark lol
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

If you need an upload of All Fall Down, let me know. Its brill. The last part ends up basically the Siler & Sapph show; Steel's down for the count :)
I'm quite sure Silver's shagging Sapph, and probably a bit of Steel on the side, yes. He's such a kinky bastard, isnt he :D
