From The TV IV

Sapphire and Steel is a sci-fi adventure that aired on ITV. The series centered around the adventures of Sapphire and Steel, who were time agents (or Elements) sent to take care of disturbances in the fabric of time. These disturbances manifested themselves in numerous ways, either becoming a beast/entity, or taking control of a human, or causing some kind of phenomenon, all of these things trying to find ways of staying in the present time and causing chaos. S&S are sent to find out what has triggered the episode, and to find a way of returning time to normal. There are meant to be more than one 'Element', as mentioned at the start of every episode - Gold, Lead, Copper, Jet, Diamond, Radium, Sapphire, Silver and Steel, but the only other agent ever seen in any episode is Silver.
