Outlander 3×01 The Battle Joined
The episode opens with Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) waking up after the Battle of Culloden. In flashbacks he remembers the moments leading up to the battle, standing next to Bonnie Prince Charlie (Andrew Gower), the charge of the Highland army and his final encounter with Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies) on the battlefield.
In 1948, Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Frank (Tobias Menzies) are settling into life in Boston. Despite trying her best, Claire finds it increasingly difficult to adjust to modern amenities and the life of a respected wife of a Harvard professor. Tensions between her and Frank rise as they both realize that Claire can’t forget the father of her unborn child.
Back on Culloden Moore in the 18th century, the last remaining Highland soldiers are found by British government troops, who are ordered to execute the survivors. However, the commanding officer, Lord Hal Melton (Sam Hoare), recognizes Jamie as the man who saved his younger brother’s life and reluctantly repays his brother’s debt of honour.

Andrew Gower On Playing Winston Smith In 1984
Here’s another interview with Andrew Gower about playing Winston Smith in 1984 and what tempted him to take on the part. Being Human and Outlander (and their loyal fanbases) get a notable mention, too.
You’ve done some beloved dramas, like Being Human and Outlander. What’s the fan response been like?
Yes, both Being Human and Outlander are known for their loyal fanbases. The beauty of both of those jobs was that the characters were very removed from me. So I’ve been lucky to get off scot-free, without any strange encounters. The wigs, blood and strange onscreen faces/voices – they haven’t found their way into my day-to-day life. Yet.

1984’s Andrew Gower on Coping with Rats, Big Brother & on Getting His Teeth Into Being Human
Theatre.com talked to Andrew Gower about playing the lead in 1984 and his time as Cutler on Being Human.
You graduated from drama school [the Oxford School of Drama] six years ago but are only now making your West End debut.
Yeah, which is funny because when I left drama school, I always envisaged that my career would be on stage; I never saw it going down the route of TV and film, so for this to be only my third theater job and in something so incredible and illustrious is really amazing.

The final episode of Outlander’s second series opens in Scotland in 1968 where a grown-up Roger Wakefield (Richard Rankin) attends the wake of his recently deceased stepfather.

Back in 18th century Scotland the morning of the Battle of Culloden has come. Jamie (Sam Heughan) fails in his last desperate attempt to sway the Prince’s (Andrew Gower) decision to postpone the attack. Jamie and Claire are discussion taking more drastic steps to stop the onslaught from happening when they are interrupted by Jamie’s uncle Dougal (Graham McTavish).
When Jamie realizes that they have run out of options and history will take its course, he uses the last hours before the battle to make sure at least his loved ones and those under his protection are provided for: he sends his men back to his estate Lallybroch and returns with Claire to the stones of Craigh na Dun so she and their unborn child can be safe.
