Filmed in Glasgow

I've heard about Deathwatch over the years and would love to see this.
It is listed as being filmed in Finnieston in Glasgow amongst other places and i would like to know if it was filmed in the building where i work. Can anybody
tell me more about it's locations. To think i'm working where Harvey Keitel,
Max Von Sydow and Harry Dean Stanton shot a film would be amazing.
I'd really like to see this and look at how much Glasgow has changed over the years, when i was young Glasgow was a big, scary new world with Neon lights,
flares, mullets and old style but totally amazing!

Can anybody confirm the locations and where can i get a copy of a English language dvd as i don't want to listen to a badly dubbed euro version.

Did Harvey use a Scottish accent seeing he was called Roddy?

I recently got a good copy off ebay. (Sent from Malaysia. An Asian release of the French Region 2 DVD)
It has the original English soundtrack.
There were a few copies available, might be worth a look.

The book it's based on, "The continuous Katherine Mortenhoe" by D.G Compton is well worth reading too, though it's unfortunately out of print.

PS: Harvey had an American accent!

I recognised several different locations in the city, the scene on the Clyde looked to be further east than Finnieston. There were also shots of the office buildings beside Kelvingrove Park and what looked like the parking bays just off Bothwell Street. I'm sure I also recognised Garnethill.

I didn't recognise the "posher" area, where Roddy goes to visit his ex-wife.

I like the idea of Harvey Kietel and Harry Dean Stanton walking the streets of Glasgow.
