Cadfael Chronicles
A Brother Cadfael Page with links, episode guides, etc.

Series Two - Shown 1995 in UK
"The Devil's Novice"
When an obnoxious monk/diplomat goes missing, various family members come under the scrutiny of Brother Cadfael. Eoin is in only one scene, at the very beginning of the episode. Hugh Beringer is off to Westminster to "render account of the shire and it's revenue to the king" (sort of appropriate that I watched this episode on April 15, tax day) and he's leaving the monolithic Sargeant Warden in charge.

"The Virgin in the Ice"

"St. Peter's Fair"
Town and gown strife rears its ugly head, as does murder, during St. Peter's Fair. Brother Cadfael's and Hugh Beringer's friendship suffers as allegiances are questioned and the sheriff gets cranky.
Images

Series Three - Shown 1997 in UK
"The Rose Rent"
Murder hits close to home for Cadfael (Derek Jacobi) when a young, love struck monk (Graham McGrath) is found stabbed to death. The object of the late brother's devotion is a wealthy young widow (Kitty Aldridge) with many rivals for her hand. Can Cadfael expose the thorny assassin before he strikes again? (Description swiped from PBS Mystery Page.)

For some reason they tried to tame Eoin's hair in this episode. What a pity.

"The Raven in the Foregate"
A new parish priest (Peter Guinness) quickly incites the ill-will of his Shrewsbury parishioners when he refuses to grant a young woman absolution because she is pregnant out of wedlock. When the woman, and later, the priest are found dead, Cadfael's (Derek Jacobi) inquiry soon reveals a complex web of family ties, espionage--and secret identities.

Doctor Finlay (1995)
Role: John Moore

Eoin is the lead in one of several plotlines and plays a young man who has lived under the thumb of his overbearing father for too long. As a result he takes a course of action which he comes to regret. A very fine piece of acting from Eoin.

Role: Tom

This from the IMDB: Strange tale of an alien who moves to a leafy London suburb. Go to Pelka Pages for a more complete synopsis, including

Lovejoy (1993)
Season 4 - "Fly The Flag"
Role: Beau Derek Whittaker

While renovating Shotley Church, "Beau" Derek Whittaker makes a remarkable discovery — an old regimental flag from the American War of Independence is hidden behind one of the statues. A cute show (marred mainly by a ludicrous subplot about a U.S. military officer's greed) with enough appearances by Eoin to make it worth looking for.

Anna Lee (1993)
Episode 1 - "Headcase"
Role: Quex

Anna, a former cop and newly established PI, takes on a missing persons case for an agency, looking for a missing young woman, but the goals change after she's found — in a mental institution, unable to recall her part in what appears to be a murder. (swiped from Television with an Accent! page)

Quex is apparently a large poet in this TV version of the story. Must have been a starving one, though, as he couldn't afford a first name in any episode guides.
