Lake District TV
Withnail and I - Wednesday at 23:35 on FilmFour
The film follows the adventures of two unemployed, drug-addled and alcohol-sodden actors who flee their seedy London flat and embark on a disastrous holiday in the Lake District. It stars Richard E Grant and Paul McGann in the title roles. Apparently this is a "Superb, inspired black comedy boasting a devoted fan base." I got this film out on DVD a few months ago and I thought it was "rubbish", ( I won't give up my day job to become a film critic just yet!)
