These instalments, with their labyrinthine plots and rogues gallery of recurring characters like the Cigarette Smoking Man William B Davis , anticipated the strict serialisation of the binge-watch era, though the narrative convolutions frequently tended to the nonsensical.

This was a high-wire act with a fair share of dramaturgical stumbles, but the valleys were rarely dealbreakers because the plateaus were pleasurable enough, and the peaks were resoundingly high. Despite the serial elements, the series still frequently hit the pause or reset button so that Mulder David Duchovny and Scully Gillian Anderson could investigate, in a number of standalone episodes, some cases in which new monsters were presented from week to week such as a man-sized flukeworm that were far removed from any space oddities.

In story terms, there's a stop-start sensation to The X-Files that's very much a product of the era before DVRs, Hulu and Amazon series, when there was no guarantee that episodes of a favourite show would be replayed, or that viewers would keep up week to week. The goal was to find a simple formula — one easily distilled to an hour-long chunk with commercials — and stick to it.

The Mulder-Scully dynamic leant itself to this formula. He was the believer, she was the sceptic. Just put those personalities in a strange situation and see what happens. Repeat as needed. What couldn't have been anticipated was the very real and mysterious chemistry between both the characters and the actors who played them. Even when the overarching narrative seems like it's going off the rails or is at a standstill, the Mulder-Scully relationship and by extension the Duchovny-Anderson kinship is always developing, always moving forward.

This is one of the great love stories, one where even a sidelong glance or a slight touch feels epochal. Theirs is the kind of magical interplay that happens mainly because of timing and luck.

And it gives a series already preoccupied with mysteries of varying sorts its enigmatic heart — one that a rotating group of writers and directors freely interpreted over the course of more than episodes. So many shows are afflicted by a sameness of tone and approach, even more so in the current moment when a single director or TV executive is often viewed, and acts, as a series' guiding force, sublimating the contributions of others.

The X-Files was something of a bridge between eras, utilising what came before while developing new narrative and aesthetic approaches that became de rigeur on programmes like Lost or Breaking Bad, the latter of which was created by the X-Files alumnus Vince Gilligan.

Carter provided the template, but his creation allowed for a number of other distinctive voices to emerge. The very unevenness of the show's approach eschewed homogeneity. This video is no longer available.
