Monarch of the Glen is a
British drama television series produced by Ecosse Films for BBC
Scotland and broadcast on BBC One for seven series between 2000 and
2005.
The Monarch of the Glen television series is loosely based on Sir
Compton Mackenzie's Highland Novels, which are set in the same location
but in the 1930s and 1940s. The first book in that series is called The
Monarch of the Glen which was a reference to the famous painting by
Landseer. The first five series of Monarch of the Glen told the story of
young restaurateur, Archie MacDonald, trying to restore his childhood
home in the Scottish Highlands, starring Alastair Mackenzie, Richard
Briers, Susan Hampshire, and Dawn Steele, whilst the final two series of
the show focused on new Laird Paul Bowman trying to modernise the
estate, primarily starring Lloyd Owen, Tom Baker, Alexander Morton, and
Susan Hampshire.
The series was created by Michael Chaplin and produced by Nick Pitt,
Paddy Higson, Jeremy Gwilt, Stephen Garwood, and Rob Bullock. The show
saw many directors, most notably Edward Bennett, Richard Signy, Rick
Stroud, and Robert Knights; and many writers including Chaplin, Niall
Leonard, John Martin Johnson, Leslie Stewart, and Jeremy Front. The
series premiered in February 2000, and its seventh and final series was
broadcast from September 2005 until October 2005 with 64 episodes in
total.
