About The Borderers

The Borderers ended on March 31, 1970. The series originally aired on BBC Two and concluded its run after two seasons. It was a historical drama set in the violent and feud-ridden 16th-century Anglo-Scottish border region, depicting the conflicts and tensions among local clans and authorities during that era.

The show was a period drama that focused on the struggles of maintaining order amidst cattle-rustling, clan loyalty, and ongoing conflicts. Premiering on December 31, 1968, it was BBC's first colour action-adventure series, immersing viewers in the turbulent life of the borderlands and the figures like Ker of Cessford, Warden of the Scottish Middle March.

The cast included Joseph Brady and James Garbutt as Rab, Eileen Nicholas and Nell Brennan as Agnes Ker, Michael Gambon as Gavin Ker, and Iain Cuthbertson as Sir Walter Ker of Cessford.
