Summary

Love endures from the battlefields of the First World War to the untamed Highlands of 18th-century Scotland in a highly anticipated prequel series to the swooning period romance based on Diana Gabaldon's books. Almost 30 years before time-travelling British Army nurse Claire Randall first meets dashing warrior Jamie Fraser, her parents Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) fight against the odds to be together on the eve of an earlier Jacobite rebellion. Meanwhile, Jamie's parents Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen Mackenzie (Harriet Slater) experience their own tumultuous Highland fling. The death of Ellen's father, Scottish laird Red Jacob Mackenzie (Peter Mullan), creates a power struggle between his two sons, Colum (Seamus McLean Ross) and Dougal (Sam Retford), both of whom wish to succeed their father. Ellen's hand in marriage is an important bargaining chip for her two siblings to determine who will ascend

Review

Jack Seale

Based in part on author Diana Gabaldon’s early ideas for a series of prequel novels, this spin-off from one of TV’s biggest historical romance dramas has a simple premise. The original was a love story between a Second World War nurse and an 18th-century Highland warrior, facilitated by her travelling back in time to meet him; this is a double-barrelled romance introducing their parents. At first we’re in Scotland, where the MacKenzie clan is mourning its dead Laird. Meanwhile in the 1910s, a young couple are holidaying in the Highlands…

All the building blocks are here: fans should soon acclimatise to the new era.
