Well, thanks Info, that makes me feel a bit better (re: Sapphire, not Joanna Lumley).
And thanks to all of you who have replied, even just to say "I know nothing"

they're meant to be quite reliable.
we came up against them on a few roles a couple of months back and when we spoke to candidates that they had already called, it seemed that they knew a hell of a lot about the project etc so they must be quite thorough. they placed two out of the three vacancies and they guys are still there and extremeley happy.
i say go forth.
and as for purdey, the bowl cut that she had did make her look a little too much like what one of the children from village of the damned would have grown up to be

I thought David McCallum was good as the invisible man. Not to be confused with the Gemini Man - What a cool digital watch that was...Originally posted by MrsGoofIf they are anything to do with Sapphire & Steel, that weird program with Joanna Lumley and David McCulumthen avoid, otherwise never heard of them.
