Brond - Introducing John Hannah as Robert

(1987) Brond was adapted into a three-part series for Channel 4, helmed by Broxburn-born director Michael Caton-Jones, most memorable for giving John Hannah his first starring role and for its oddly operatic soundtrack courtesy of Bill Nelson of Be-Bop Deluxe. A political thriller, Brond throws a serpentine plot of political intrigue into central Scotland. After witnessing the mysterious Brond (Stratford Johns) kill a child in Kelvingrove Park, student Robert (John Hannah) is drawn into his Machiavellian plan to trap a dangerous IRA killer in hiding on the British mainland. Throw in a Scottish nationalist terrorist cell, an adolescent protagonist on the verge of manhood and the obligatory love interest and Brond becomes a Glaswegian Day of the Jackal. And so much more.
