Welcome
to The Highlander A-Z
Welcome to the world of Duncan
MacLeod, the Highlander (the TV incarnation, at any rate). Most people
know of the movie Highlander, starring Frenchman Christophe
Lambert as Scottish lunk Connor MacLeod, and Scotsman Sean Connery as
Egyptian/Spanish peacock Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez. It's the one with the Queen soundtrack. Anyway, don't fret: this site is
not dedicated to that movie.This site is dedicated to the Highlander
TV series, which debuted in 1992 and ran for six seasons. This series
is set in an alternate universe to the original movie. In this
universe, The Game didn't end in 1985, and there are hundreds of
Immortals still living among us, pretending to be regular guys while
occasionally lopping off heads in darkened alleys when they think no
one's looking.
This site began its life as a four-page
feature in British sci-fi magazine Cult TV back in 1997.
Cult TV sadly no longer exists, but this site has now been going -
on and off - since 1998. This is its third major redesign.
Site contents
The contents of this site can be broken up into the following
sections - and you'll find links to them on the right-hand side of the
page from wherever you are inside The Highlander A-Z. These sections are
as follows:
 | The A-Z itself - your online
encyclopedia to the world of Duncan MacLeod (and now Amanda too). |
 | A timeline of Duncan's life, from
his birth in 1592 to the present day |
 | An episode guide of the entire
series (and Highlander: Endgame movie), featuring full
technical details, trivia and my own personal ratings for each and
every episode. This now encompasses Highlander: The Raven
too. |
 | A map of where Duncan's been, with
details of what
he's done there and who he copped off with - coming soon
(honest!) |
 | A brief guide to the immortals who
inhabit Duncan's universe |
Search the A-Z
Just use the box below to search this site for specific content, or

Anything else?
Not really. If you'd like to explore Highlander
further, the series has been released on box-set - one box per season -
through
Anchor Bay Entertainment in the US, and I've been picking up my
copies in the UK from
Enterprises DVD
(do a search for Highlander). All six seasons are now available, as is
the short-lived spin-off series, Highlander: The Raven.
I've not yet seen the fifth Highlander movie (Highlander:
The Source), which went straight to TV when it was finally released
in September 2007. When I do get around to watching it, I'll add the
details to this site. Find out more at its official
site, here.
Star Adrian Paul is also Executive Producer, and recorded a diary during
filming, which you can read
here.
If you fancy finding out more about the person
who built and maintains this site, please visit my personal Web page
here. Thanks for
visiting, and remember, if you think there can only be one, you plainly
haven't seen this hugely entertaining TV series...

Site highlights
I've tried to make this site as individual as possible. It's based
largely on my own observations - the episode guide, for example,
contains plenty of fresh material you won't find elsewhere. Unless they
ripped me off. Or possibly vice versa.
Tongue-in-cheek
I'm a massive fan of the series, but I'm British, which means I have to
lampoon the whole thing slightly. After all, I don't want people to
think I'm that obsessed with a show that's been off the air for eight
years, do I? Even if it's true...
