Other cult tv stuff too. Blake’s 7, Star Cops, Sapphire and Steel… I love late 70s to early eighties archive stuff especially. music, telly, soundtracks. Very nostalgic for the feel of those times, and how writing and acting for television was a theatre-influenced art that crafted inventive and innovative stuff straddling the old world and the then-new. Slick modern telly has its pluses too, but my soul is forever 80s.
I love the pacing too. Television makers trusted people’s attention spans then. Building atmosphere slowly, having characters take time to explore a situation in real time… I miss it.
Incredible writing and inventiveness on that show. And McCallum and Lumley were such a team! That ambiguous chemistry…
