I'm looking for a copy of and information about this film (which starred Ian McShane). Anybody know anything about it (beyond what I can find out on IMDB etc)?

Thanks for that lightning-fast reply. That's saved me a lot of tracking down.

I bought a copy a couple of weeks ago. I knew nothing of the film prior to watching it and I have to say it is a pretty good thriller.

I'm looking for a load more obscure Brit movies so I'm going to give that site a good scan.

It's a really good site, save it your favourites asap because sometimes posts containing a link to it get 'moderated'.

I have bought quite a few titles off them and the quality is generally pretty good and delivery is super-quick!

Echo that Bats, they are a very friendly bunch to deal with and their speed of delivery is first class.

It's about time. And, of course, as I'm in something of a locked groove, it'll be covering 60s and 70s British cinema again!

I take it of the more 'cult' variety? Good luck with it and I look forward to the finished book.

Wow - I'd seen that cover knocking about on the internet and thought someone had done a quick paste up job with some felt tips. I didn't know it was the original Derann cover. Those were the days, eh?

Front and back of the Derann Video.

The Derann tape is actually a cut version- missing a rather risqué scene with Luan Peters. I think I’ve sent ZDD a copy of the missing footage, so it could be included in his version?

Bat's next time you watch the movie keep your eye out for this young old boy

THE FREELANCE…Ian McShane
Aitch and Dave Brandon (Stuntman) spent the day chasing Ian McShane
(Later to become LOVEJOY) around the West End streets of London..
And the climax is I never get to catch him.
(I’m not to good at this running game as you found out earlier. I’ll have to give the smokes a miss.)

Aitch,
