A Quiet Word with Richard E. Grant

This week on A Quiet Word, comedian Tony Martin has a lively chat with the actor/director and memoirist Richard E Grant. Although best known for his roles in the classic comedy Withnail & I, several Robert Altman films and TV's Scarlet Pimpernel, Martin dredges up several credits that Grant himself can barely remember, including his debut as 'Village Yokel' in Penelope Keith's only unsuccessful sitcom. Grant talks about his role in the upcoming Iron Lady with Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher, reveals his part in exposing an outrageous 'AIDS cure' scam, denies he started that rumour about the actor and the gerbil, and, at one point, accuses Martin of wearing a hairpiece.
