Peter Cushing remains one of Britain's best-loved film stars. Famous worldwide as Sherlock Holmes, the big screen Doctor Who and Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars, it is for his performances in Hammer horror films that he is still most fondly remembered.

In Past Forgetting Cushing tells the story of his two decades with Hammer, and beyond; from his defining portrayals of Frankenstein and Van Helsing, to his experiences working alongside such greats as Laurence Olivier and Morecambe and Wise, and the love and loss of his wife Helen.
