Bruce Robinson: Withnail and me

With Antonia Quirke

Antonia reveals the favourite phone box scenes as chosen by Film Programme listeners and talks to writer/director Bruce Robinson about the phone box in Withnail And I that has now become a shrine for fans of the movie.

A phone box in Uist is one of the stars of Limbo, a new drama about an asylum seeker who has to wait on one of the islands while he finds out if he can stay in this country. Director Ben Sharrock and producer Irune Gurtubai reveal what is like filming in gale force winds and dangerously high tides.

Death In Venice has been described by its star Bjorn Andresen as the film that destroyed his life. Kristina Lindstrom and Kristian Petri, the directors of The Most Beautiful Boy In The World, reveal why the film still haunts the actor 50 years after he made it.
