This 13-episode series presented by Yorkshire Television, [[German TV Stations|Germany's ZDF]] and Spain's Antena 3 (which explains the locations) followed the adventures of Adam, a multi-billionaire late 20th-century businessman who abruptly discovers that he is the reincarnation of
Adam, who adjusts astonishingly quickly to his new life of errantry, is assisted by his reborn mentor Godbold, formerly a monk and hermit, and now a plumber and wrestler, and his lady-love Clare. Her parents are less than happy about it, especially as she throws over a parent-approved fiance for Adam.
Line 6:
Zachary is assisted by Beatrice, a powerful shape-shifting sorceress who was the king's daughter back in the 10th century, and Adam's wife.

* [[As Long as There Is Evil]] - Zachary is defeated but the Knight's duty is not done. "It will never be over for you, Sir Knight."
* [[Big Bad]] - Zachary, fiendishly cheery and evil. Think the latest incarnation of [[Doctor Who|the Master]].
Line 16:
* [[Damsel in Distress]] - though she shows a regrettable tendency to be captured by the [[Big Bad]] feisty Lady Clare is far from useless. In the final episode she deliberately hands herself over to Zachary and Beatrice because Godbold tells her it will help. Counter-intuitive as it seems it does.
* [[Different As Night and Day]] - Adam and Zachary of course.
* [[The Dragon]] - Beatrice, sorceress, princess and Adam's wedded wife - though they never got as far as a wedding night.▼
* [[Evil Twin]] - Zachary, and ''loving it''!
* [[Hermit Guru]] - What Godbold was first time around. These days he's a plumber.
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman]] - Beautiful sorceress Beatrice assumes a massive masculine form in aid of a plot to kill Godbold. She later reverts to that form whining that she's sick of being a woman, 'It's too complicated'. Zachary comforts her - er him?
* [[Mineral MacGuffin]] - A magic stone that changes hands constantly. In fact, one whole episode centers on it.
* [[Reincarnation Romance]] - Adam and Claire again.▼
▲* [[The Dragon]] - Beatrice, sorceress, princess and Adam's wedded wife - though they never got as far as a wedding night.
* [[The Power of Love]] - Together Adam and Claire are unbeatable.
▲* [[Reincarnation Romance]] - Adam and Claire again.
* [[Theme Naming]]: Adam and Zachary -- "A" and "Z", symbolizing polar opposites.
* [[Walking the Earth]] - what all three of them, but especially Adam, seemed doomed to do. Not that he minds.
