Jason Isaacs reads a gloriously grumpy letter written by the creator of Withnail & I

In 1987, the year Withnail & I was released, its creator, Bruce Robinson, wrote a letter to his friend and star of the film, Richard E. Grant, who at the time was away filming in Israel.
Jason Isaacs joined us to read it at Letters Live at Wilderness Festival, Oxfordshire, in the summer of 2023.

The fact that this curmudgeonly rant was addressed to the sweet soul of Richard E. Grant makes it even more delicious. 😂 Jason Isaacs is brilliant as ever.

[@MomaCat59]

I love Withnail and I. This is exactly what I would expect from one of the creators.

[@debshaw680]

Jason is so talented and so handsome. Loved this!

Jason Isaacs has such a cool voice.

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

He sounds like Chris Tarrant

[@macronencer]

This is wonderful! It could easily be Withnail saying most of it :D

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

The fact is is that this definitely sounds a LOT like if Withnail wrote a letter.

How do they get these letters? Are they real? Either way the letters are gems that must be shared.

Probably grumpy because of trying to give up nicotine. Withdrawal is quiet painful.

I'm sure Google has seen your comment and is acting with all haste to correct the issue.
