When asked by Den of Geek him if Hear My Song was his iconic moment like Rocky was for Sylvester Stallone, Adrian said, “Kind of was like that! It was a fabulous time, doing Hear My Song. It was a time when there were a lot of really good movies coming, but a lot were issue movies. There weren’t that many comedies around, and we wrote a comedy. We thought we’ll write it just for the fun of it. Channel 4, British Screen, all these companies were ready for something like that to come along. It was quite a plain sailing, once we’d given them the script. Within nine months! We really worked hard on the script, and we brought a lot of our own stories to it.
Some of the set pieces are things that happened to us and so forth. It was great fun. We found a young actor called Jimmy Nesbitt. David McCallum back, because we loved The Man From U.N.C.L.E. when we were kids. All that kind of stuff came together. We had a fantastic shoot, an incredible crew in Ireland, at the end of it we thought we’d robbed an orchard or something! We’d got away with it! Then we went into the edit, and hey presto, a fantastic film came out of it. Absolutely beautiful. Loads of heart, funny, great performances. A fabulous journey, and music-based as well.”
