We're not from London.In this second Bonus episode Roger and Alice meet with friends David and Francis, who also attended the screening at Sleddale Hall, and ask whether or not the 'pilgrimage' (which we are now calling it) to these far flung film locations made them love Withnail & I even more? Or never want to watch it ever again? Roger gets the fear about being so far away from civilisation, decent A roads and good wi-fi reception, whilst the intrepid trio of travellers detail

We're friends of Montague Withnail's. In a moment of drunken sincerity Alice agreed to travel up to the Lake District (in all this beastly oomska) to visit the famous landmarks from the film - the 'I'm gonna be a star' reservoir, the 'lick 10 percent of the arses' telephone box, the 'I want something's flesh' creek and the 'shut tha' gate - before descending on the actual cottage for a screening! In Part One of these two special bonus episodes of

We have some extremely distressing news... it's the final podcast. Alice and Roger discuss the ending of the film they love but get quite maudlin about it whilst downing the 53 Margaux. From Marwood cutting his hair to Withnail trudging off alone to goodness knows where the final fifteen minutes are dissected in this extended special edition, that includes a bow to the astounding Hamlet soliloquy that Withnail delivers to the wolves! We're also intrigued by some notes in the credits, disturbed by

2022/11/29

So good he had to have his own show... in which Roger & Alice clear up some arguments they have had about the headhunter to his friends. Will we never be set free? Yes, it's time to deconstruct Danny, is he actually a genius or has his mechanism actually gone? Plus, we discuss the great performance by Ralph Brown, the line that got him the part, where the Camberwell Carrot came from and the almost replication of the role in Wayne's World 2. BONUS: We chat about the boom in Withnail tourism and

Yes, he went to the other place but what else do we know about marvellous Marwood? The I in the film's title, never named or referenced but the eyes through which we watch the film. Just a straight man to Withnail's excesses and hysterical lines or the earnest achiever we're rooting for to succeed? Roger and Alice discuss Withnail's diarist and how he may act as a foil for all of the comedy without having a funny line himself, or doesn't he? Plus a shout out to our international followers,

Parkin! Poacher! Police! Presuming Ed and The Proprietors! The characters on the periphery that have the misfortune to encounter Withnail & I but provide some of the best scenes and lines. Roger and Alice delve into the lives of the guy in the tractor, the guy behind the bar, the guy with the dead animals and the guy in the bath in this episode that shows some love to the supporting cast, and decide on our favourites before getting in the back of the van. Plus, fresh from a night live with

2022/10/09

The hardest of tasks, trying to find just five favourite lines in the most quotable film ever? Roger and Alice valiantly down some lighter fluid and attempt to deliver and describe their top five Withnail quotes, but discover their choices have changed as they've grown older. No more swaggering into a pub and announcing 'we're going to install a fucking juke box in here', these days we're much more introspective and prefer to get home before the sky begins to bruise...

So what was life like for an out of work actor back then? Written and set in the 60s, filmed and released in the 80s. Roger and Alice discuss the setting of Withnail and I, the music, the score, the language, the not-so swinging Sixties and reminisce about Soho and Camden in the good old/bad old days. There's some meandering off on a tangent talking about Dr Who, Not The 9 O'Clock News, Blackadder and Only Fools and Horses and we decide that Withnail could never be subjected to a remake but are

The last island of beauty? Or just a terrible cunt? Alice and Roger discuss all things Uncle Monty in this episode and just how complex a man he is, how it's possible to have empathy with him despite the fact he means to have you. Roger reveals some background to the character and we try to make sense of the vegetables and the oaf, sorry cat. We also explore whether Withnail and Marwood could be gay and all of the rich female characters in the film, which takes about 89 seconds, SCRUBBERS! Plus

Not the film, the man. A chat about all things Withnail, is the character a wasted talent or just a talentless waste? How did he end up reduced to the status of a bum? And why is he wearing that old suit? Plus, we pay homage to the most extraordinary on-screen performance by Richard E. Grant, just how did the new teetotal actor manage to pull of the swaggering aristocratic drunkard quite so perfectly? And who nearly got the role instead? Also includes an appreciation of Grant's amazing ability to

An introduction to the Withnail and Us Podcast and hosts Roger & Alice, we discuss our own friendship and how Withnail has influenced it and our day to day language, there is some disagreement about who introduced who to the film and some thoughts about whether or not Withnail and Marwood are actually friends. Alice gets worried about Danny coming round again and we share our experiences of meeting the cast in real life. (Note: Shitty sound quality on Alice's voice for the final ten mins of this
