Details from 'Gallowglass' are vivid to this day and the next to the end revelations make it a dark shocker. Through one of the characters obsession with a lovely kidnap victim we learn that even though he believed himself passionately in love with her it never occurred to him to remove the shackle from her ankle when he made love to her.
Not a weak performance anywhere from Michael Sheen and Paul Rhys down, yet Michael Sheen's TV debut performance as the disturbed yet strangely innocent Gallowglass of the title, is what I mostly remember. Sheen has gone from strength to strength on TV and film. Mark my words, he's this century's Alec Guiness. Is it on DVD? I wish. 10 out of 10
