“There is no more story…”

Richard E. Grant has put an official end to rumours that a Withnail & Isequel could one day happen.

The ’80s indie comedy is a cult classic, and fans have long hoped for Grant and his co-star Paul McGann to return to the roles, but Grant has nixed the idea.

During a chat with the star to promote his seedy new gangster thriller Dom Hemingway, we questioned Grant on reprising his Withnail role.

But the answer was a resounding no, noting that the writer and director Bruce Robinson feels there’s ‘no more story’ after the man upon whom Withnail was based passed away.
