I was going to post it in the "pissed off" thread, but it's far too awful for that.

REG simply cannot be touched. 'specially not by that woodblock idiot.
I would like to see W&I in a stage adaption, but it HAS to be by English actors. I can't believe REG wouldn't do it again...

I really can't think of anybody worthy of playing him in a remake.
Just leave it alone for god sake. It doesn't need remaking.
But I agree a stage show with the two of them would be good.

On other showbiz news it gets really scary -
"Former footballer Vinnie Jones and ex-EastEnders actor Shane Richie are to star in a new Carry On film - the first to be made since 1992. "

A travesty indeed, and I'm surprised Bruce Robinson agreed to it. I guess the financial reward will be too good to turn down.
What's the story on RE Grant not wanting to do it? It's arguably his best and most famous role. He was brilliant in it!

I'd guess they didn't even ask him; he's probably "too old"Scardwel wrote:What's the story on RE Grant not wanting to do it? It's arguably his best and most famous role. He was brilliant in it!

Bollocks to that; what about Billy Nighy, or even Ian McKellan? Are they too old?
Actually, Nighy would make a good 'old' Withnail. Hell, he is...

I found a version on t'Internet ages ago, corrected some of the more obvious mistakes, and put it up there. TBH I've never sat down and checked it word-for-word against the film; that would be too geeky (even for me).nick the stripper wrote:Just spent the afternoon reading that, very good.markfiend wrote:See also Clicky (which may not be 100% correct)
