Trivia

	James Faulkner is a veteran of British TV, including roles in ITV's adaptation of Jeffrey Archer's First Among Equals (alongside David Robb, no less) and Bridget Jones' Diary. Check out his impressive résumé here.
	The Egyptian flashback is the second in the series not to feature Duncan, but the first to pre-date his birth (by some 1,600 years!).
	Constantine was originally envisaged as someone who could replace Darius as the elder statesman to Duncan's younger Immortal. Ultimately, though, that role fell to Methos.
	Catherine Zeta Jones auditioned for the part of Nefertiri before Nia Peeples won it - which might explain the slight Welsh twang to her accent (that might just be me, but then again her middle name is Gwendolyn). Visit Ms Peeples' official Web site - one of many - by clicking here.

Verdict
All of Highlander's strengths are on show here, from the blurring of good and evil to Duncan's conflict of love and what's right. A-
