Hello.

You know how the sing-a-long-a-… format works? Special cinema screenings of ‘Grease’ (or ‘Mama Mia’ or ‘Sound of Music’ or similar) in which the audience is permitted, in fact positively encouraged, to sing along with the film. It struck me today how much fun it would be to take part in something similar for ‘Withnail and I’, with crowds of people of a certain age joining in with the dialogue out loud, in unison. Does such a thing exist?

Another delayed newsletter I’m afraid. I’ve put some extra good links in to make up for it.
