DOUBLE JEOPARDY
A diamond store is robbed using all the trademarks of one Xavier St
Cloud, who has been missing for two years. The French police call in
FBI agent Renee Delaney to investigate, and she in turn enlists the
help of someone who was linked with St Cloud previously, one Duncan
MacLeod. Duncan knows the truth - that a copycat killer is
responsible, but who is he, and why does he have an interest in the
Highlander?

Trivia
 | Roland Gift makes the last of his five
appearances as Xavier St Cloud, despite dying at the end of his
third, B15, 'Unholy Alliance, part
2'. |
 | Stacey Travis reprises her role as Renee Delaney,
first seen in B14 and
B15, 'Unholy Alliance, part 1 and
2'. |
 | Marc Warren is currently best known for his
starring role as Danny Blue in the BBC TV series Hustle. He
recently took centre-stage in one episode of the resurrected
Doctor Who (see
here). Check out his full
CV
here. |
 | This episode was actually held back and screened
as part of season five, sandwiched between
E15, 'The Stone of Scone', and
E16, 'Forgive Us Our Trespasses'. |
Verdict
This is a hit and miss affair, not helped by poor dubbing. Marc Warren
makes a good snarling villain, and Roland Gift's cameo is a welcome
one, but the modern day story isn't helped by the lack of chemistry
between Paul and Travis, which makes their relationship more awkward
than amorous. C+
