WOW! Am I making these too easy?

PM me your address wolfie!

I would have also accepted "I" as the name of the Paul McGann character since that was how he was listed in the end credits. I can't remember if he was ever refered to as Marwood in the film.

I haven't seen it in about a dozen years, I'll have to watch it as a double feature along with How to Get Ahead in Advertising.

There are still TWO possible answers open in regards to the companions!

PART TWO of the contest as follows. You get a DOCTOR WHO card if you answer both these questions...

a) The names of the companions and the performers.
b) The name of the actor in Withnail and I, that was considered for the part of Doctor Who as Tom Baker's replacement, and the name of his character in the film.


Now let's crank this up a notch.
The character of Withnail was lifted anabashedly into the world of Comic Books. For a ROM card answer these three questions...

a)What is the name of this character based on Withnail?
b)What is the Title and issue number of his first appearance?
c)Who "created" this character and why?

[rche]

Richard Griffaiths (Uncle Monty) was up for the Doctor at one point, but already had something on his plate.

Not sure what companions you are referring to. in question a.

Willoughby Kipling from Grant Morrisons Doom Patrol is a mix of the Constantine character as done by Withnail presumably because GM could not have Constantine in the DP universe. first appearance in DP31 ( the dc/vertigo reboot)

have a good time

Richard Griffiths / Monty

Were my answers for the companions wrong?

[rche]

If you are talking Doctor companions
The 8th Doctors companion was Grace (Daphne Ashbrook)

In the animated Doctor series, he teams up with Sophie Okonedo (Alison Cheney) and I suppose that would be considered his companion??

If you are talking about companions in Withnail and I -- ???

That is my best shot, anyway. Fun questions and one of my favorite movies. Gotta go get me a Campbellwell carrot. aw yeah

[samurainoir]

Were my answers for the companions wrong?

No you were right, but as far as I know (in my limited journeyman's knowledge of Doctor Who), there are FOUR possible correct answers for companions/performers in regards to McGann and Grant as Doctor Who.

Keep going!

[wolfie]

You've got your cards! Give someone else a chance!

I personally don't consider Chang Lee a companion, but I guess that's open for debate.
(I don't consider the Brigadier a companion either)

Still open!

[rche]

Had a typo on Richard Griffiths in my earlier post.

I'm outta juice for more companions, there are too many characters in the 8th doctors audio exploits and I don't know all that much about the flash animated one.

Any points for being a Doom Patrol fan?

[rche]

where's mike when you need him?

ROM is yours! PM me your address!

I'll throw in the WHO card as well, since you did most of the heavy lifting on it by naming the supporting actor and Grant's animated companion and the performer. Good job!

One more Companion/Performer to be named for a WHO card! (it's like finding out who the final cylon is!)
