Cast and writer/director of Withnail and I Radio 4 interview

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

If only that feature would work... (am not that daft sir, not that daft :P )

Edit: managed to fix the problem, now I can listen to it.
Thank you very much Mr. Blast :)

Nope, Fiendy's most definitely not the only W & I fan(atic) here, so you were quite Cheech & Chong about it. :lol:
Yeah, I *finally* understand the "meringue" thing, now, Herr Blast, after months of utter confusion. Erm...I hate to have to tell you this, but "meringue" isn't pronounced the way you think it is (and if you don't agree with me, feel free to look it up)! :lol: :P

I went on holiday (by mistake obviously) to Cumbria last week and went for a day out in Penrith. I couldn't be sure if the tea rooms I saw were the tea rooms in the film but I'd like to think they were. The place is a dump by the way. ;D
