In this episode, we discuss:

Sapphire and Steel 2.07-2.10, “Assignment IV” aka “The Man Without a Face” (1981): Joanna  Lumley and David McCallum are troubleshooters from beyond time who find  themselves pulled into strange occurrences at an abandoned junk shop,  including a mysterious man with no face, the sudden appearance of  Victorian-era children, and a young woman who spends three straight  episodes “getting ready for work.”

Dark Season (1991): A trio of precocious  students face off against the villainous Mr. Eldritch, a man with a  number of sinister technological toys and a deep, abiding loathing of  human life. Best known for launching the careers of Russell T. Davies  (creator of Queer as Folk and inaugural showrunner of the Doctor Who revival) and Kate Winslet (expect you’ve heard of her).
