I've heard of (and seen) "Sapphire and Steel". It was aired in Britain about
5 years ago, and starred Daviv McCallum and a well known actress whose name
I forget (young, blonde & beautiful of course!). DM was Steel (representing
the metal) and she was Sapphire - they had special powers (e.g. Dm could
reduce his body temperature to close to absolute zero). Each story they
solved a paranormal occurence (somewhat like a high-tech 6th Sense) involving
ghosts or creatures from another universe. It was very good. From time to time
they would call up reinforcements - one story their colleague Lead showed up
- he was a huge black guy. very strong. That's all I can remember. I wonder
if it ever made it over here? Sorry this is in net.tv.drwho - i dont subscribe
