Tenby Observer – 15th October, 2015

“We’ve gone on holiday by mistake!”

Who spotted ‘Withnail and I’ star Richard E. Grant in Tenby this week? He’s been in Pembrokeshire filming ‘Their Finest Hour And A Half’ – a World War Two era comedy and tweeted a picture of himself at Castle Beach yesterday and one of the harbour with the tag “Blue skies in Tenby this afternoon. Wales the beautiful.”

Based on the novel by Lissa Evans, the film tells the comical story of a disparate group of people brought together in Norfolk to make a British propaganda film. Richard E Grant’s co-star Bill Nighy has also been spotted dining in Tenby over the weekend, when he returned to The Blue Ball Restaurant on Upper Frog Street for a meal on Saturday.
