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 the peaks and troughs of not only the Lake District but their odyssey into Withnail territory... no one comes out unscathed, (despite being friends of Montague Withnail's).

Plus, the four cover the cleverness of the script, revisit favourite quotes and scenes and discuss how our love for Withnail & I changes over the years, whilst continuing to strengthen friendships.

Alice, David and Francis attended Uncle Monty's Summer Soiree, a screening event held at the original Crow Crag location near Penrith, by Eden Arts/Picnic Cinema, look out for the 2024 event if you are interested. Sleddale Hall is owned by Tim Ellis - see Bonus Part 1 for an interview with 'Uncle Tim' - and is a private residence so please be respectful if you are in the area.

Until next time.... thank you for enjoying these bonus episodes, we'll be back soon.

I shall miss you Withnail.

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 the Withnail & Us Podcast Alice tells all about her trip into Withnail country and the screening of the film at the original cottage! Roger discovers just how difficult the locations are to get to, how Alice and friends risked their lives for just the right photo and what happened on top of the windy hill of Crow Crag at 2am after very little sleep and a LOT of sherry...

PLUS - includes an extra special interview with architect Tim Ellis, the owner of the cottage or Sleddale Hall, to talk about how he has got the building up and running again, whether he is still a fan of the film and if those are the kind of windows that faces really do look in at. Thank you 'Uncle Tim' for a really insightful interview into Crow Crag and it's incredible legacy.

Alice attended Uncle Monty's Summer Soiree, a screening event held at the original Crow Crag location near Penrith, by Eden Arts/Picnic Cinema, look out for the 2024 event if you are interested.

Look out for Bonus Part 2, Roger and Alice discuss the event and locations further, with two fellow Withnail tourists (who are also not from London).
