Homegrown Heroes – From Bond to Thunderbirds BOND BIRTHDAYS Interview with Jonathan Melville As this is the 40th Anniversary of Highlander , I wanted to talk a little about it. Well alot about it actually. So I got the main man Jonathan Melville on the show to geek out a little with little known facts and gems about the film. He's done two books on Highlander , and I think you'll enjoy this chat.
