    Harold Pinter wrote a screenplay called Langrishe, Go down about a declining aristocratic family in Kilkenny ,so must be the same? It was made into a film with Judi Dench and Jeremy Irons - www.imdb.com/title/tt0077830/ . At least part of it was filmed around the Waterford/Kilkenny area and a friend of mine got a walk-on part .

    No doubt looking forward to the annual May meeting of the Royal Yacht Squadron, held at Claridge's Hotel on May 8th 1913, which he attended with many other titled and benobled gentry. One member who was missing was Captain R. F. Scott, who had recently died leading the Antarctic Expedition. (London Times May 9th 1913)

    Commander Sir Hercules Langrishe, R.N.V.R., was fined £2 by the Isle of Wight bench for using a motorcycle without a permit. His solicitor said that at the time he was on Government duty as a King's Messenger.
    The magistrates probably realised that Cowes wasn't on the route to Russia (unless you start the journey in Shanklin).
