Withnail & I Reunion
Last Sunday’s The Reunion programme on Radio 4 was a special on Withnail & I. In the 45 minute show, recorded before a live audience at the BFI, Sue MacGregor chats to Bruce Robinson, Ralph Brown, Richard E Grant and Paul McGann about the film, with a short contribution from Richard Griffiths. You can currently hear the show using the ‘Listen Again’ link on the right of that page, although I don’t know how long it will be there.
(If, like me, you have to install bloody Real Player to listen to it on the BBC site, don’t bother entering fuckrealplayer@bbc.co.uk during the mandatory registration - someone’s already used it. Perhaps fuckrealplayerwhynotopensource@bbc.co.uk or director-general@bbc.co.uk…)
Whilst you’re listening, you could have a look at some recent photos of Sleddale Hall in Cumbria (Crow Crag) and other Withnail locations.
Perhaps best of all, someone’s made their own Withnail & I Action Figure, complete with carrier bag footwear and Camberwell Carrot.
