Watch cult classic 'Withnail & I' at Loks Bar and Kitchen in Newlands, Glasgow Southside.

Tickets £10 (plus booking fee)- https://wegottickets.com/event/673022

This much-loved comedy follows the impoverished lives of two out-of-work actors living together in 1960's London. A shortage of booze leads them into a series of adventures, featuring rain, legumes and the finest wines available to man.

There will be a bar open in the screening and an intermission halfway through to let folk buy more refreshments and run to the loo.

This is part of our 'The Doctors On Screen' season of screenings. Starring Eighth Doctor Paul McGann and unofficial 'Shalka' Doctor Richard E Grant, this film showcases brilliant actors who have played the Doctor at their best. Paul McGann's brief appearance as the Eighth Doctor in 1996's TV movie had a huge impact and he has gone on to become the most prolific audio Doctor, appearing in Doctor Who Big Finish audios for over 20 years to date. Richard E Grant has appeared in Doctor Who media multiple times, twice as a 'Doctor'. He was at one time the 'official' Ninth Doctor before being usurped by the 2005 RTD revival, which replaced him with Christopher Eccleston's 9th Doctor.

We aim to show a variety of films over the coming months and years, showcasing the variety of screen appearances from the brilliant actors who have played the Doctors. In the future we may well show John Hurt in 'Alien', David Tennant in 'What We Did on Our Holidays, Christopher Eccleston in 'Shallow Grave', Tom Baker in 'Nicholas and Alexandra' and many more. Please let us know what films featuring actors who have played the Doctor you would like to see.

We are continuing our long partnership with local venue Loks Bar and Kitchen in Glasgow's Southside, hosting in their fantastic function room with a full cinema set up and an in-built bar. Please let us know if you would like to see us show Doctor Who related films in other locations.

This film is fully licensed through Filmbank Media and we are glad to be part of the cinema industry. The Glasgow Doctor Who Society is a constituted non-profit group, we aim to cover the costs of our events and any profits are put into future events. Our society aims to provide support for a vibrant social community of Doctor Who fans in the Greater Glasgow area, hosting welcoming and accessible social meetups in the Hope and Vincent pub in Glasgow city centre on the first and third Sunday of every month and further events and adventures throughout the year.
