This episode and its sequel: "The Last Crusader of San Giovanni" are not only designed to be paired together, but they're also the only time we see the show really gel and demonstrate how well an episode can be with good writing, directing and a group of people who know how to act.

Personally, I believe credit goes to Christien Anholt, who really pulled this episode and its sequel together to make them the smoothest of the series. His character of Brother John is funny and endearing. His role is priceless.

he doesn't steal the scenes, he makes them better and those working with him shine as well.

Highly recommended! Sorry the rest of the show wasn't as good as these two.moreless

ADD NOTES
- The Port of Bristol, England stood in for the London Docks. Edit
- Christien Anholt previously played Nigel Bailey on AI's predecessor show, Relic Hunter. Much of the production crew and writers on AI were involved in that show too. The character he plays here is initially almost the antithesis of the overly chatty Nigel and one suspects the "going off thing" at the end might either be intended as an in-joke, or a set up for him to return in the future. Edit
- This show marks the typical mid-season switchover for similarly produced shows (Highlander, Relic Hunter) where having wrapped up the first half of filming in the U.S./Canada, they jump over to Western Europe for the second half of the season. Edit
