Richard E. Grant and writer-director Bruce Robinson became fast friends on the set of Withnail And I. Grant once revealed that he had written an anecdote in his imminent memoirs about Robinson masturbating into a copy of the Daily Telegraph.

Amazingly, the story turned out to be true. So why did Robinson threaten to sue? He would sue, he said, if it wasn't in the book!

[Grant often sang at auditions. the song? The Swazi national anthem. (He also wore two watches, one set to Swazi time.)]
