Author Jonathan Melville looks back at the creation of Highlander with the help of more than 60 cast and crew, including stars Christopher Lambert and Clancy Brown, as they talk candidly about the gruelling shoot that took them from the alleys of London, to the far reaches of the Scottish Highlands, and onto the streets of 1980s New York City.

In time for the 40th anniversary of Local Hero, Jonathan Melville checks into Urquhart’s Hotel – watching out for motorbikes – and examines director Bill Forsyth’s early career before spending time with the cast and crew to find out how this classic film was made.
