Intriguing, ghostly goings on.

Sapphire and Steel submit to Tully's methods, and agree, reluctantly to hold a seance, their aim, to learn the name of the soldier, but a different voice comes through.

It's a very interesting continuation of the story, it generates some pretty harrowing thoughts of what life must have indeed been like for soldiers and naval officers at a time of war.

The Seance was a truly interesting scene, incredibly well acted, we were transported back to 1938, those events were skilfully brought to life, and it's about the first time we see both Sapphire and Steel jointly placed in danger.

We get to see a different side to Steel's character, he perhaps has a more reasonable side than I first thought, the scene where he tries to reason with The Ghost, and appeal to his better nature, was a very good moment.

8/10.

Assignment Two: Part 4

The length of this story shows in this episode. We are only part way through Assignment Two.

It is Tully and Sapphire who are in danger finding themselves suffocating in a submarine. The other men in the submarine are angry, they are dying and they were civilians not in the armed forces.

Steel rescues Sapphire and Tully. He considers saving the men but decides against it.

What Steel really wants to know is the name of the soldier and more information about him. For that he wants Tully to recreate a seance.

A lot of the episode seemed to be the seance with Sapphire channelling the spirits. I did like the way there was still flashes of humour from Tully. He might be contacting the spirit world but he still wants to wear his cross.

It was an episode where also for a moment Steel showed a human side as the thought crosses whether he should save the men in the submarine.
