Episode No. 220
Stephen did this episode of RELIC HUNTER for Paramount Domestic Television. The episode is entitled The Royal Ring, written by Ron Levinson and directed by Jurgen Wolff. It aired the 7th of May, 2001.
In this episode, Stephen plays a character called Palmer. The British Museum had hired him to decode a riddle written by Henry VIII that could lead to finding the long-lost wedding ring of Anne Boleyn. But then the museum decides that maybe Sydney Fox (Tia Carrere, aka the main character of the series) could be of more help, and calls her in. The plot revolves around who is going to find the ring first. There are also some secondary love interests. [Not with Stephen.] Also guest starring are Crispin Bonham Carter as Preston Bailey, Rachel Pickup as Amanda Reardon, Vernon Dobtcheff as Anthony Cureton, and Jurgen Zwingel as Willis.
RELIC HUNTER if you haven't watched it before [I hadn't] is kind of like a cross between Indiana Jones and Jonathan Creek. Like the name says, they hunt for relics. Solve puzzles. The plot was fun. There was not nearly enough Stephen. But fun. Stephen's Palmer is sarcastic at times. Angry and mean at other times. But sparkly and focused, and definitely interesting! Stephen has a real nice haircut and the costuming sets him off just right. You'll enjoy Palmer. I sure did! Relic Hunter looks like it was shot right there in UK.

Availability:
I got my copy from a friend in Canada. She got hers off of 'Space'. So if you are in Canada, you might keep an eye on that channel. Otherwise you would want to watch out for it on whichever affiliate of yours that shows Paramount. Relic Hunter, at their site, has a list of affiliates for the States. You can get to that list via the front door at the Relic Hunter site, which is http://www.relichunter-tv.com/. [They use frames, so I can't give you the exact page.] But it could very well be shown again during summer re-runs, so keep an eye out!
