  • Expanding on the story told in the original 1981 film by telling a new beginning and an alternate ending - featuring three of the film’s stars reprising their original roles, it was adapted and directed by Dirk Maggs based on the film by John Landis.
    Jenny Agutter as Nurse Alex Price
    John Woodvine as Dr. Hirsch
    Brian Glover as George Hackett
    Eric Meyers as David Kessler
    William Dufris as Jack Goodman
    Eve Kopf as Nurse Gallagher
    Michael Roberts as Larry Talbot
    David Bannerman as Inspector Villiers
    Mervyn Stutter as Sergeant McManus
    Mark Lowen as the kid
    Other parts members of the cast.
    The role of the landlady of the pub is uncredited, sounds like Eve Kopf, but it sounds a lot like Lila Kaye from the movie, so could be either.
    First broadcast on BBC Radio 1 in April 1997.

    I've always thought that the first werewolf, the one that bites David, was the brother of the guy who tells the joke in The Slaughtered Lamb. That's why he's so keen on keeping it a secret.

      I wondered would this be the case because David was bitten by a werewolf so he wasnt a natural one.

    If they do a remake of American werewolf in London how cool will it be if they use the asylum part of the book in the remake with your honest opinion how cool will it be if they do an American werewolf in London remake or they could use a female character to play David Kessler and have a female werewolf what do you think about that idea

      I know they had a female werewolf in the sequel but all I'm saying is don't you think it will be an interesting idea if they had an female werewolf if they did a sequel to American werewolf in London but with your honest opinion who do you think they'll cast for if they had a female actress to play the part of David Kessler so you think it will be a bad idea if they had a female actress who played the part of David and a female werewolf

      I wouldn’t have any prob with David’s role being a woman; as long as there wasn’t any over sexualization, if she still went through the incomprehensible pain of the physical transformation, yeah I can see that as a cool take on it.

    They should remake this movie and put more werewolf in it. And not a bunch of computer generated effects. A mixture of CGI and old fashioned effects is what's called for. Similar to what they did in the remake of The WolfMan.
    I love the original film. Especially loved the four legged werewolf. And that transformation scene is still the best. Time robs it of absolutely nothing.
