3	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The main theme by Cyril Ornadel is impressively spooky.
4	* EpilepticTrees:
5	** Fans have been known to speculate at length about the S&S/''Series/DoctorWho'' connection. [[WildMassGuessing Are Sapphire and Steel Temporal Intervention Agents]]?
6	** Fan speculation about the ''other'' Elements, particularly ones that were mentioned only in passing and/or during the title sequence, could fill several chemistry textbooks.
7	* HarsherInHindsight: The present-day ubiquity of cameras, ''especially'' in UsefulNotes/{{London}}, makes Steel's admonition to never have another photo taken a '''lot''' more difficult for Liz to comply with.
8	* HilariousInHindsight: People considered this series as ITV's answer to ''Doctor Who'' at the time. 24 years after it ended, the series creator, Peter J. Hammond wrote [[Recap/TorchwoodS1E5SmallWorlds two]] [[Recap/TorchwoodS2E10FromOutOfTheRain episodes]] of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'', a ''Doctor Who'' spin-off.
9	* NightmareRetardant: Assignment 3 has a cliffhanger where Steel is attacked by... a pillow.
10	* ParanoiaFuel: Any sufficiently large assemblage of old objects can potentially summon an EldritchAbomination to destabilise the universe. Beware of museums... (An alternative interpretation of Assignments One, Three, and Five is that it's old-fashioned ''lifestyles'' or attempts to re-enact the past that cause problems, rather than simply collections, although this is not true of Assignment Four.)
11	%% ** Don't have a photograph taken. Ever.
12	* RetroactiveRecognition: Johnny Jack from "Assignment Six" is played by Creator/ChristopherFairbank, who would later be best known for playing Moxey in ''Series/AufWiedersehenPet''.
13	%% * SpecialEffectsFailure: Too many to list; even the expensive and difficult effects look cheap.
14	* StarTrekMovieCurse: Assignments Two, Four, and Six are generally regarded as being better than Assignments One, Three, and Five.
15	%% * TearJerker:
16	%% ** The ending of Assignment 2.
17	%% ** [[spoiler: The death of Dr. [=McDee=]]] in Assignment 5.
18	%% * TheWoobie: Mr. Tully in Assignment 2.
