Yeah, good article, I'd already googled and read it.

Funny thing was, our last little adventure under Antony Farrell's
auspices bore a suspicious resemblance to a plot I imagine could have
*been* a Sapphire and Steel plot - even though he'd never heard of
them.

Much gibbering and screaming. Time travel gives me the heeby jeebies.

Like I said ... Tony doesn't need *any* assistance whatsoever in that regard.

We ended up jumping forward and then back in time (unwillingly),
damaging the timeline in the process - possibly preventing the
original colonisation of the world we'd departed from. The big
difference between our adventure and a Sapphire and Steel plot was
that we had to repair the damage to the timeline *ourselves*.

An excellent adventure achieved with much player to player humour as usual.

"OK, genius, you got us into this mess, now get us out!"
