THE IMMORTAL CIMOLI
Danny Cimoli is a struggling magician until he gets hit by a truck and
miraculously "survives". He soon uses his new-found Immortality to
become a headline act at a circus currently in Paris. This act
eventually attracts the attentions of Duncan and Amanda, but Danny has
little time for the Game - even when Damon Case comes looking for his
head...

Flashbacks

Damon Case takes the head of Duncan's precocious student, Philippe
de LeFaye III. |

 | Vrej Ratavoussian |
Trivia
 | Crispin Bonham Carter is cousin to Helen, and has
carved out a career for himself with recurring roles in Relic
Hunter and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (the Cuban adventure). |
 | Simon Kunz was reunited with Bonham Carter,
appearing in the same Auf Wiedersehen, Pet episode. He has
plenty of British TV credits, most recently appearing in episodes of
Midsomer Murders and Rosemary and Thyme. |
 | Cimoli's first fight was filmed, but edited out
of the final transmitted episode. It's included as part of the
episode's extras on the season four DVD box set, which also gives
his unknown adversary the name of Vrej Ratavoussian. |
Verdict
A great example of how Highlander could pull off self-contained
stories. This little number is often overlooked, but manages to be
both funny and moving at the same time. Duncan's involvement with Cimoli is neatly explained by the flashback, and the episode's
resolution ties everything up neatly. A-
