Win two tickets to see Withnail and I!
As part of our Late Night Classics series, we are screening cult favourite Withnail and I this Friday, and are giving away two freebie tickets to one lucky winner!
Bruce Robinson’s snapshot of the grimy end of the 1960s became one of the most iconic films in British cinema. Richard E Grant and Paul McGann are perfect as two unemployed actors drinking themselves to a stupor in the Lake District, while Richard Griffiths is hilarious as lecherous Uncle Monty (reportedly based on Robinson’s own experiences with director Franco Zeffirelli). Endlessly quotable, Withnail and I has lost none of its charm.
To enter the competition and win tickets to this screening, answer the following question: 'What is your favourite quote from Withnail and I'. The more unusual the better!
The competition closes on Thursday at 5pm.

"Liar! you've got anti-freeze!"
"There must and shall be aspirin!" - Withnail
Throw yourself into the road darling... you haven't got a chance
"This suit was cut by Hawkes of Savile Row. Just because the best tailoring you've ever seen is above your fucking appendix"
Hi!
My favourite quote is Marmwood's "My thumbs have gone weird"
"I can never touch meat until it's cooked. As a youth I used to weep in Butcher's shops."
'We've come on holiday by mistake'
"I have a heart condition. If you hit me, it's murder..."
"I feel like a pig shat in my head"
" look at your tongue, it's wearing a yellow sock"
We want the finest wines available to humanity. And we want them here, and we want them now!
Old suit? This suit was cut by Hawkes of Savile Row. Just because the best tailoring you've ever seen is above your fucking appendix doesn't mean anything!
What's your name? MacFuck?
I'm going to pull your head off, because I don't like your head.
“We want the finest wines available to humanity. And we want them here, and we want them now!”
“I don't advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.”
I mean to have you even if its to be by burglary!
There must and shall be aspirin!
"Rejuvenate... I'm in a park and I'm practically dead. What good's the countryside?"
Withnail: I feel like a pig sh*t in my head.
I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is, you'll agree, a certain 'je ne sais quoi' oh so very special about a firm, young carrot.

"Don't threaten me with a dead fish!" - Withnail
"We are not drunks, we are multimillionaires!" - Marwood
"I've been watching you, especially you, prancing like a tit" - Jake the poacher
Withnail: This place has become impossible. Nothing to eat, freezing cold and now a madman on the prowl outside with eels.
And the winner is Sean Flynn! Thanks to everyone for entering, hope you all manage to come along anyway!
Sean, we shall be in touch regarding the collection of your tickets.
No one has said...
"Bloody fool! You should never mix your drinks!"
In retort to drinking lighter fluid then anti freeze.
?!?
Thats the Belhaven Best by FARRRR
Withnail: Are you the farmer?
Marwood: Shut up, I'll deal with this.
Withnail: We've gone on holiday by mistake. We're in this cottage here. Are you the farmer?
Marwood: Stop saying that Withnail, of course he's the fucking farmer!
*Withnail spits on the ground*
Jesus, look at that. Apart from a raw potato, that's the only solid to have passed my lips in the last 60 hours. I must be ill.
Fork It!
Throw yourself into the road darling...you haven't got a chance!
Marwood to Withnail when he picks up a bottle of lighter fluid:
- I wouldn't drink that if I was you.
- Why not?
- Because I don't advise it. Even the wankers on the site wouldn't drink that, that's worse than meths.
- Nonsense. This is a far superior drink to meths. The wankers don't drink it because they can't afford it.
'Perfumed Ponce!!!'
