Mr. Sohal met Richard E. Grant at the China Exchange in London, and Ralph Steadman at the Barbican Centre.


It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.


This British black comedy was written and directed by Bruce Robinson. The story follows two unemployed substance-abusing actors who escape London life for the weekend and stay at a cottage owned by Withnail's (Richard E. Grant) eccentric uncle, in order to restore their health. However, a different story unfolds! This was Richard E. Grant's first full-length feature role. The film also stars Paul McGann, Richard Griffiths, and Ralph Brown. Withnail and has become a cult classic.
