Our expert's notes

”I must have some booze. I demand to have some booze!”
A script for Bruce Robinson’s classic 1987 British comedy Withnail & I.

In 1969, two unemployed actors (Richard E. Grant and Paul McGann) with serious substance abuse issues go on a countryside retreat that quickly goes downhill.

This rare production-used script is a collector’s piece of truly iconic British cinema. Written by Robinson, it features a blue cover with a window displaying the (typo-afflicted) title of the film on the page underneath. It is comprised of 128 A4-sized white pages including the title and final pages and is bound with two metal butterfly fasteners. The script is unannotated inside except for the number ’35’ written in marker pen in the top right corner of the title page. Someone has also doodled on the title page, tracing around the cover window with pencil.

The script comes with a ‘with compliments’ note tucked inside the front cover from someone at HandMade Films, the company who produced the film.

The script shows some wear from production use and age, including creases and curled pages. There is some minor staining on the front cover and the metal fasteners have become rusted, which has transferred onto the blue cover. Despite this the script remains in and excellent condition.

Materials: Card, Paper, Ferrous Metals.
