I agree this mechanism often operates for programs you have seen as a
child and then see again much later. But I didn't see Sapphire and
Steel as a child and I only saw it for the first time in the mid
'90s. I was fully expecting it to be the usual shaky old sf series -
but it wasn't. It was actually good and still stands up well because
of the ideas it puts into play.
If once wants to define a filmic/televisual text as philosophical,
this one in my opinion certainly fits the bill. It certainly gave me
new philosophical insights in any case.
