The Wanderer (1994 TV series)
Encyclopedia
The Wanderer is a television series first broadcast 1994 comprising 13 episodes.
Every episode brings a new adventure, and the story of long-ago brothers Adam and Zachary, Princess Beatrice, and Lady Clare slowly unfolds as Adam searches for Zachary's grave, a magic stone, and a lost book of power.
The show was created by Tom Gabbay, who also served as Executive Producer of the series, which was filmed on locations in Austria, Germany, Spain, and England, including Helmsley Castle
and the Yorkshire Moors, by FingerTip Films (a partnership between Roy Clarke, who wrote the scripts, and producer Steve Lanning) for Yorkshire Television
(UK), ZDF (Germany), Antena 3 (Spain), and SkyTV (UK).
) are two former knights from the tenth century born again in the twentieth. Zachary is after a complicated revenge on Adam, who killed him in the year 1000, but there is a lot more at stake than mere vengeance.
The other players in both time-zones are Zachary's beautiful but deadly companion Beatrice (Kim Thomson
), Adam's friend Godbold (in the present day a philosophically-minded plumber and wrestler with a large beard, but once a hermit and monk, played by Tony Haygarth
) and Adam's tenth-century lover Lady Clare (Deborah Moore
). She has come back in the present day as Clare, a high-spirited photographer, and she does not plan to lose her man a second time.
Wolfgang Mathias is Adam's personal assistant, but having no roots in the tenth century he gets pretty confused by it all.
