My then-husband and I used to watch the show every Friday night at about midnight. Just tonight the show came up in another conversation and I had the idea of trying to watch an episode or two.
It will be a tough assignment, of course. Imagine the burden of having to sit through all these visuals on my way to ferreting out genealogical data. Yeah yeah yeah, so you're shirtless and look like you're been to the gym, let's get back to your thoughts about Inverness!
Unfortunately, it appears that actor Adrian Paul is not Scottish, he's English. But The Highlander is, so that counts, right?

So, who's it gonna be, Adrian Paul or Same Heughan (sp?)? Pick one. :laugh:

Yes. It was a 2020 production. I saw it on December30. I considered it amusing but not wonderful. I did go to the Library to see if I could read the play but it was borrowed. Perhaps I can try again this week. Besides Dame Judy I wanted to see Dan Carter as I had a crush on him in Downton Abbey and was annoyed when they killed him off (he wanted to leave the series). I did not have the same reaction to him this time.

My friend said that Stevens overacted. He certainly did give the impression that writer's block was driving him crazy. The person who played Elvira also overacted. But Densch was excellent as usual.

So of course the latter is all yours.
