Withnail and I: Cult classic turns 30 Charting the travails of two out-of-work actors in the dying days of the 1960s, British film comedy Withnail and I has staggered to its 30th birthday. Star Richard E Grant looks back at its filming and considers whether anyone else could have tackled the role that put him on the road to Hollywood. Chin chin! Camden Town. Two sleep-deprived thespians wallow in filth, battling drug-induced paranoia, a worrying lack of booze and stalled careers. What follows - an ill-fated jaunt "to the country" and run-ins with an assortment of misfits and malcontents - would marry with caustic dialogue to produce an oft-quoted classic. Largely unnoticed on its release in April 1987, standout performances by Grant as the acid-tongued Withnail and Paul McGann as the more introspective I helped the film gradually gather a dedicated following. I am making time guffaws and pual Mcgan appeared as DR who twice No doubt the american jackals will have no idea what i am on about

I thought it was really good, and so did all but one of my friends. In fact, it was the one time I disagreed with Barry Norman on a film: he didn't rate it at all. Me, as far as I was concerned, he was simply wrong, and that was that. I call it a Camberwell Carrot because it looks like a carrot and I invented it in Camberwell ....
