ALL TIME CLASSICS: Highlander


Based on the first motion picture and centred around fellow clansman to Connor MacLeod, the series follows Duncan MacLeod and his many adventures through the ages as a 400 year old immortal. If you've seen the movies you know to expect sword play and romance and of course continuity errors abound! But it was a far more entertaining series than the many poor sequels the movie spawned and is a cult series with many fans, myself included. The characters were worth investing in and it had an entertaining six season run which was unfortunately soiled by a very poor final season, cancelled before it could be realised and concluded weakly. It will always have a place in my fandom and I can only hope the reboot of the movie will finally realise some justice to the numerous wasted sequels!
