Local Hero

on BBC One London

starring Burt Lancaster, Peter Reigert, Denis Lawson, Jenny Seagrove, Fulton Mackay
The giant American Knox Oil Corporation has its eye on the remote Scottish village of Ferness - intended as the site of a new refinery. MacIntyre would seem to be just the man for the job of negotiating a 'fair' price with the villagers. But Ferness can have a strange effect on its visitors as Maclntyre discovers. A delightful comedy from the producer of "Chariots of Fire".
