I know the people who would be most interested are in the wrong continents to take advantage, but I think Harry Jones's episode of Highlander, the Stone of Scone, is on Sky One at 1 a.m. tonight (i.e. the early hours of Thursday).
The other day, I wrote:

For some unexplained reason, Harry got rather less screen time than Roger Daltrey, but he was, of course, excellent whenever he appeared in the role of Andrew the Caddie. He was wearing a rather strange grey hat - I think a very large, flat beret.
I noted with interest that he was acting as caddie to a glamorous woman who didn't seem very trustworthy. This inspired two thoughts: 1) If I knew the first thing about golf, I would write "Servalan and Jarriere go round the links". Perhaps there was a golf course on Terminal? 2) Though "caddie" is now used almost entirely in a golfing context, I believe it was originally a more general term for a manservant. Perhaps Jarriere is an Immortal, who has chosen to spend the centuries working as caddie, in it various senses, for glamorous but untrustworthy females?

Terminal: A prelude
Funereal Music (Wagner's death march from the Gottedamerung or the Space Command theme from B7)
A Federation battle cruiser descends onto the surface of Terminal watched by Jarriere and a mutoid. Jarriere is clad in golfing clothes. The mutoid holds his golf club bag. Finally it lands. A door opens and a ramp descends. Servalan, clad in a charming, if impracticable, off the corner number walks down the ramp followed by assistants in the tasteful garb favoured by Federation personnel on Terminal.
Jarriere: Madam President, it is good to see you. Servalan: Jarriere, is all prepared. Jarriere: Yes Madam President. The first message has been sent to the Liberator. Avon advises that they are on route and will comply with instructions. Servalan: Excellent. You have done well.
Servalan notices a large patch of sand on the ground.
Servalan: What is that ? Jarriere: Well, you asked for a bunker Madam President. I presumed it was something to do with those Links you were talking about.
Boom Boom !
Stephen.

Hurrah! Another one for the Jarriere website whenever I work out how to do a website, I hope?
