Like many I first started watching Xena: Warrior Princess because I loved the light-hearted fun of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. And like so many more I ended up being an even bigger fan of the warrior princess than the son of Zeus. Although both shows possessed the same tongue-in-cheek sense of humour, Xena could often be a much darker, more complex and character driven series. It was also cheesier than the entire dairy section at Sainsbury's due to the writers' willingness to indulge even their loopiest ideas.
