Trivia
 | Thomas Lockyer also appears as Watcher Matthew
Hale in Highlander: Endgame. His most recent TV appearances
were in the BBC's long-running Holby City medical drama,
which Peter Wingfield was in for a year from 2006-7. |
 | Vernon Dobtcheff is a well-known French actor who
will be familiar to Highlander afficiandos as he made two
appearances (both as different characters) in the original series:
A14, 'For Evil's Sake', and
D15, 'Promises' (where you'll find
a link to his Internet Movie Database entry). |
 | Natalie Roles is best known for playing DS Debbie
McAllister over an 11-year period (1993-2004) in ITV's police soap
The Bill. Scott Maslen also enjoyed a long stint in The
Bill from 2002-7 as DS Phil Hunter before switching to another
soap: Eastenders, where he currently plays Jack Branning (see
here). |
 | I will not spoil things for those who haven't
seen the episode and who have no idea how it ended. |
Verdict
The shock ending and the flashback are the only notable items in this,
the last ever episode of The Raven. After a solid middle of
the season, perhaps it's fitting that the series ended with one of
its most disappointing stories after a slow decline during the
Paris-based episodes. C
