Trivia

Although credited on screen only as "...and I", Paul McGann 's character is named as "Marwood" in the script. It is widely believed that the character's first name is Peter; although this is incorrect. This myth arose as the result of a misheard line of dialogue when Withnail and Marwood are enjoying drinks at Monty's house. The only occasion Marwood's name appears in the film is when it can be just be made out, written upside down, on the envelope he receives at Crow Crag. See more
