Any recommendations?

I really love this show and am looking for any other shows (or movies I guess) with a similar feel. Is there anything else like this? Creepy, strange, avant-garde, where nothing is ever explained...

The only thing I can think to compare this FANTASTIC show to is the film Last Year at Marienbad, somewhat more baffling but with a similar creepy unexplainable-ness.

So...what are your thoughts? Any suggestions? What's a Sapphire & Steel fan to do?

You might enjoy Rod Serling's Night Gallery series from the late 60s, American rather than English but with a definite old macabre and ghostly vibe.

For a contemporary of S&S's there's Tales of the Unexpected. Not many (if any) ghost stories but plenty of creepy twists (at time of writing this series is getting a daily double bill rerun on Sky Arts 2)
