19/05/09Why haven't royalties come in gangs?INT. MOTHER BLACK CAP. PUBLIC HOUSE. DAY This is an Irish pub. The bar is full of men. Only two women in here and they look like men. Faces like rotten beetroots. It’s a horrible place. Shit-coloured formica. Carpet like the surface of a road. The atmosphere is rank with smoke and Irish accent. WITHNAIL leads the way to the bar and is served at once.  WITHNAIL: Two large gins. Two pints of cider. Ice in the cider. (Taken from ‘Withnail and I’, Bruce Robinson) The revival of the cider category, through the suggestion of serving it over ice, has long been credited to Magners. But has it ever been publicly acknowledged that the idea was actually advanced almost twenty years earlier in the script of Withnail and I? Also makes me wonder what other potential commercial gems might lie within the screenplay. Could the Camberwell carrot now be monetised? The greatest decade in the history of mankind may indeed be over. Comments, Pingbacks:

Very good, I really liked it. Is there somewhere I can read more about it?
