Castaway is a 1986 British biographical-drama film directed by Nicolas Roeg and starring Amanda Donohoe and Oliver Reed.[2] It was adapted from the eponymous 1984 book by Lucy Irvine, telling of her experiences of staying for a year with writer Gerald Kingsland on the isolated island of Tuin, between New Guinea and Australia.
Real life inspiration
In 1981, Lucy Irvine responded to an advertisement placed by writer Gerald Kingsland, and they became self-imposed castaways for a year on the isolated and uninhabited island of Tuin, in the Torres Strait between New Guinea and Australia. Chosen by Kingsland from over 50 applicants, Irvine agreed to marry him to satisfy immigration restrictions before they travelled to Tuin. She was 25 years old, and he was 49. After a year, they returned home, and in 1983, she published her account of the experience in Castaway, which was later used as the basis for the film.

00:07:15515 5 June
00:07:19Outside the court, over 200 reporters and photographers waited
00:07:22Lucy, what's the Royal Academy exhibition like?
00:07:25I thought I might take Ronnie
00:07:27I'm trying to bore him to death with culture
00:07:29Good for you, teacher
00:07:31We saw two ballets last week and he absolutely hated them
00:07:34That's mine
00:07:36And a poetry reading, he didn't like that very much either
00:07:41You know, he actually dozed off in Tosca last week
00:07:45You're both philistines
00:07:48These guys actually like poetry readings
00:07:50Well, I'm not mad about them

00:08:23The final murder charge concerns the death of student Jackie Hill in Leeds last November
00:08:29After the hearing, Mrs. Sonia Sutcliffe hid her face from photographers
00:08:33as she was escorted to a waiting car and driven away
00:08:38The magistrates remanded Peter Sutcliffe in custody
00:08:41to await his trial at Leeds Crown Court at a date yet to be fixed
00:08:45He was driven straight back to Armley Jail
00:08:52An additional charge that he had stolen two car number plates
00:08:55valued at 50 pence was withdrawn
00:09:00He's not a grown man, your husband
00:09:02He's a puking boy
00:09:03He can't even lay a girl without the whole world knowing
00:09:05His best says he makes her sick with his slop
00:09:07I made a swear on the baby's head that she was telling the truth
00:09:09I brought the baby in and made a swear on his head
00:09:11If ever I hear his stinking voice, I'll pull it out of his head
00:09:14Pull it out?
00:09:15Pull
00:09:17Do you think I'm stupid?

00:31:47Oh!
00:31:51Oh!
00:31:53Did you ever find yourself walking down a street
00:31:56and all of a sudden you're walking faster and you don't know why?
00:31:59And then you suddenly realise
00:32:02you've passed a fishmonger shop?
00:32:06Hm?
00:32:10I hate dead fish, you know.
00:32:12Well, you can't exactly cook them when they're alive, can you?
00:32:15can you? I'm talking about buying them.
00:32:25do you know I once read Isaac Walton's complete angler? it was incredibly boring.
00:32:35what did you read it for then? I said what did you read it for then? because I
00:32:42never give up once I've started.
00:32:56there's something Lucy. you're as good as a man to have around here. I said he's
00:33:04something else. shit. there's crocodiles around here.
00:33:34now that lady there is auntie Lucy you see and the gentleman is me and that's
00:33:44when we just arrived on the island. and this one here is a picture of you as you are now.
00:33:51Darryl what do you think about when you're doing routine things? you know boring things.
00:33:58think about? yeah. you look blank. you know nothing much going on. can't tell.
00:34:09well I think about what's happening first off and think about and then I
00:34:17think about what a bloody silly question what does anybody think about? I think about
00:34:24wills. that sort of thing I mean it's fairly odd.
00:34:35you never ask questions. what I mean about life, God, mankind.
00:34:45I just want to know what goes on inside your head. my brain. it's like my prick. it
00:34:58goes up and down if it's ever caught. sometimes it explodes with excitement.
00:35:05when you see it lying there doing nothing nothing at all then you'd be
00:35:10surprised what it's capable of thinking.
00:35:15try some.
00:35:22would you like to move there some time?
00:35:29there was a young man from Watt who took a lady out on a yacht. too lazy to rape
00:35:36her he made darts of brown paper which he idly flicked at her twat.
00:35:45Lucy!
00:35:53Lucy!
00:35:55Lucy!
00:36:00Lucy!
00:36:15Lucy!
00:36:45come on Gerald. your darts soon. yeah. Gerald we should get back because the fire's gonna be.
00:36:59relax will you? there's gonna be plenty of time for firelighting all right. you
00:37:05lazy sod. yeah. I don't believe it you just found another excuse to sit down.
00:37:10yeah. you're always lying about.
00:38:10Gerald I thought you were gonna teach me fishing today.
00:38:40we'll have rice tonight. hmm well I counted out one of the bags. 18 days 25
00:38:48if we eat less. times four that's a hundred days. Lucy I want to plant this
00:38:56garden. I want things to start growing. firstly because it's practical we'll
00:39:00need it and secondly maybe more importantly it's something I've always
00:39:03wanted to do. grow my own food on my own island. now make sure that we don't
00:39:09starve Lucy and I'll make sure that you learn to fish. but I want to do this
00:39:14first because I owe it to myself and it'll prove to me that I believe in our
00:39:19future here together. understand? our lives may depend upon these vegetables.
00:39:27Gerald come on. we're an ocean full of food. Lucy you cannot live on protein alone. you will
00:39:34die. you need vegetables, carbohydrates, fruits. otherwise you die see. bloody die.
00:39:41let's hope they grow then. let's pray that they do. do you pray? sometimes.
00:39:51you? I say thank you a lot. a great philosopher and once crawled at the leg
00:39:59of a pant. he recognized upadanda as feminine gender which proves what you
00:40:06know you students of cat. Gerald don't break the skin. Gerald don't break the skin.
00:40:11no teacher I won't. no I won't.
00:40:29when you wrote answering that ad Lucy. is this what you expected?
00:40:52oh shit.
00:40:59is it all right for the member of two in West now?
00:41:08Gerald please don't. please.
00:42:00it's making me feel light-headed.
00:42:21what is? no protein.
00:42:22I haven't eaten rice since Tuesday. yeah and those eternal cups of tea.
00:42:32Gerald look I don't want this to make any difference to us.
00:42:40leave it.
00:42:45Gerald I don't want to hurt you Gerald really and I am sorry. Lucy do you know
00:43:00that you're always sorry. I mean you've got this sorry thing going around in your
00:43:05head all the time. makes you angry doesn't it?
00:43:10God it frightens me. I mean your anger. I mean when we're here on this island
00:43:16alone. frightens me. it makes me feel so guilty.
00:43:25you're a smug little shit. I just can't.
00:43:30ah yeah well you take that. I'll go and um...
00:43:51Gerald? Jerry? Gerald?
00:43:55Gerald?
00:44:04Jerry we can't leave it like this.
00:44:16Jerry?
00:44:25Jerry?
00:44:55it's not fair!
00:45:09do you know something Lou? I reckon even if I had some rolling tobacco I'd forgotten how to roll a cigarette.
00:45:39dear oh dear. hot huh? weird isn't it? yeah. I mean the changes. hmm? I mean you can say the
00:45:47words pub, copper, bus, friend and they just don't mean anything anymore. yes they
00:46:01just seem to have lost their images don't they? they're just sounds.
00:46:11hmm? yes.
00:46:13Lou? hmm?
00:46:15will you just give these a spot more? here this one this one yeah and this one this one yes
00:46:31a screw and a cold beer right now is is the summit of my whole life's ambition.
00:46:43do you know something? you could found a whole new religion on this island with a screw and a cold beer.
00:46:50here.
00:47:02Lucy I said screw not stew.
00:47:10you're such a liar.
00:47:13what did I do wrong now? your whole character's a liar.
00:47:18you pretend you don't read don't think don't listen you pretend you're just a gimme a good
00:47:25lay a good beer and I'm happy sort of chap.
00:47:31Lucy everybody leads their secret life where even secrets have secrets. sure. women love to skewer us
00:47:39love to figure us out and then pigeonhole us. he's reliable he's quiet but gentle he's sweet
00:47:46with the kids. I really do know the real inner him they say to themselves nodding wisely and
00:47:53they're amazed when suddenly he breaks rank and they they discover all of a sudden that they never
00:47:58knew one one sweet doodle not even one sweet doodle shit about them. now believe me
00:48:08my god have we been here that long?
00:48:25so you've got two panties off already.
00:48:37what? dropped your panties. whoops. I'm not going to read this aloud to G. you have to have a concave
00:48:44navel to make love to a sunbeam. I have the most beautiful navel in Tuin. they enter directly from
00:48:50above when the sun is perpendicular to the earth and if caught on a rock alone at this hour of the
00:48:54day you are almost certain to be ravished.
00:49:13cover your tits. what? for god's sake cover your tits.
00:49:17ahoy there. anyone ashore? anybody home?
00:49:24hello there. there are only two of them. I don't see them to be so small.
00:49:32hello there. hello.
00:49:39you're required under penalty of law to complete and return this census form. what?
00:49:46incredible isn't it? they insisted on us stopping by and delivering this census form.
00:49:54look I hope you won't mind but we've got some repairs we want to do to our hulls.
00:49:59we haven't got any spare food you know. it's okay we've got plenty of food.
00:50:04in fact you can have some of ours if you like. well that's very nice of you. thank you very much.
00:50:17oh no it's crazy. anyway
00:50:28there it is.
00:50:34so how's it been going? well we love the island.
00:50:42oh I'm Rod Armstrong.

00:50:58G'day. Jason Menzies. hello. hello Jason.
00:51:05G'day.
00:51:13you both look... yeah well we were getting on fine by ourselves up until just now. just
00:51:19just fine. your boat looks marvellous. fantastic boat.
00:51:30Lucy
00:51:30why don't you make us all a cup of tea? tea yes yes of course. come on. great idea. thanks.
00:52:01that hurts.
00:52:10Gerald being silly. I bet you didn't know what to expect.
00:52:13that is about and that's all we brought with us. Lucy do you realize something?
00:52:17today is the first day that you've entertained anybody as a married woman. so it is.
00:52:25there's so much intimacy about what you two are doing. I mean by the end of it there won't be
00:52:30anything you don't know about each other. what do you talk about?
00:52:37practical things of course and um then
00:52:42about our lives, memories, ideas.
00:52:50I don't know. it's all a bit beyond talking really.
00:52:54yeah what happens when people know too much about each other?
00:53:01no pretenses left. nothing to hide behind.
00:53:08at least you're married. you won't imagine the ransom you'd hold over each other when you're
00:53:13finished. I couldn't let somebody else walk around with that. I'd have to do them in.
00:53:18yeah we're only married because the government made us. you know what they said to us? they said
00:53:24no hanky-panky on a desert island unless you got a license. oh come on that's hard to believe.
00:53:31yes it is isn't it? one who could be worse. no hanky-panky at all.
00:53:38oh no that would be unbelievable.
00:53:48oh it's not gerald's fault. it's just the way he is.
00:54:00it's me I know.
00:54:04but he just lies there doing nothing with no
00:54:13imagination.
00:54:14I suppose it's because he's so much older than me. partly. terrible leg infection.
00:54:25slippery there.
00:54:28what's the matter?
00:54:30I don't know.
00:54:40you've got to be kidding me.
00:54:42I don't know.
00:54:44I don't know.
00:54:46I don't know.
00:54:48I don't know.

00:55:54Lucy.
00:56:06You're like a randy little bitch on heat.
00:56:10Do you know that?
00:56:14If you behave like that tomorrow, I'm gonna beat the shit out of you.
00:56:19Do you understand?
00:56:25You're a very peculiar person.
00:56:31I don't understand you, Lucy.
00:56:55Take it easy.
00:57:03Honey couple.
00:57:05I kind of like old Gerald.
00:57:08He was okay.
00:57:12Don't tell me, slusher, did you get a bit?
00:57:24No.
00:57:54No.
00:58:24Come on.
00:58:27I can't grow things without water.

00:59:02What are they?
00:59:06Oh, God.
00:59:08Oh, Gerald.
00:59:19Lucy, look, this is it.
00:59:21The lichard or Mackenzie bean, first mentioned by blah, blah, blah,
00:59:26produces thick coffee substitute.
00:59:30Whole bean is edible and nutritious when boiled,

01:05:25You see.
01:05:26Yeah, Mr. Terrell.
01:05:28You see, Mr. Terrell, you see.
01:05:30Ha, ha, ha.
01:05:33Do you know they're so nice?
01:05:35They are so goddamn nice.
01:05:38They're so kind and generous, simple, helpful, friendly.
01:05:46I love their rice wine.
01:05:48I think it's great.
01:05:51Do you know they want me to mend their old tractor next week?
01:05:55And then the council asked me whether I'd look at their air conditioning system.
01:06:00I wish you wouldn't.
01:06:01Wish I wouldn't what?
01:06:03Nothing.
01:06:05You wish I wouldn't nothing?
01:06:07That's after all the bollockings I get for doing sod oil all the time.
01:06:11That shows a lot of the women, huh?
01:06:13Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:06:21Well, for them people, there is a war, Torres Strait Radio.
01:06:25I'll give you the weather details.
01:06:27Eastern gulf, southeastern gulf.
01:06:29Seas will be smooth, too slight.
01:06:31Northeast winds will be blown, over ten knots.
01:06:35For them people, they will take use of the weather over the weekend.
01:06:39I'll be sailing for them people.
01:06:44The rainy season is welcomed by the natives of Tuin,
01:06:47bringing as it does despair, damp, cold, damage.
01:06:53And too much bloody water!
01:06:59Do you know this is the story of my life, Lucy?
01:07:01This whole damn thing.
01:07:04This whole damn thing.
01:07:34Yeah!
01:07:51Here we are. For you.
01:07:54I'm not hungry, thanks.
01:07:58No. No, you're not, are you?
01:08:04Lou, stay and have a chat.
01:08:07You're good company.
01:08:10When you're not over on Badu...
01:08:12Uh-huh. People always come. They've asked often enough.
01:08:15No.
01:08:19Lou, I know what this last year has meant to you,
01:08:22on Tuin, with... with me and...
01:08:27But that year is going to be over soon, Lou.
01:08:31What are you going to do then?
01:08:33I don't know.
01:08:35Mr Dallow! Mr Dallow!
01:08:39Ronnie! It's early and I haven't even finished that yet.
01:08:42Ronnie, boy!
01:08:44I wish Tuin... Ronnie! Run!
01:08:46I wish we could...
01:08:51Mr Dallow! Ronnie!
01:08:54Mr Dallow!
01:09:00Mr Dallow!
01:09:15I don't know what's happening to me.
01:09:18Be back in the morning, Lou!
01:09:20Over the last few weeks, I've changed inside and out
01:09:23with such rapidity that I feel...
01:09:26I feel nothing to hold on to any longer
01:09:28that I recognise as being me.
01:09:32It's so good to see G's confidence and self-respect returning.
01:09:36I never really knew him when he was not down.
01:09:39But now I can see the reality of the kind of man he has,
01:09:43up to now, only talked of being.
01:09:48He's so absorbed that he's almost forgotten to remind me
01:09:51of the uselessness of being a cunt that doesn't fuck.
01:09:54But not quite.
01:09:56Not quite.
01:10:26Bye!
01:10:44Bye! I'll see you in a few days!
01:10:48Bye!
01:10:50Bye!
01:10:57Hello!
01:10:59You should come with me next time, Lou.
01:11:01They'll make you feel like a princess.
01:11:03Ah!
01:11:05I'm sorry. I spent a day longer than I intended to.
01:11:08I simply couldn't get things finished.
01:11:10They're remarkable people, you know, Lou, all remarkable people.
01:11:13You should hear what Ronald says about you.
01:11:15It makes Jane Mansfield seem like a dowdy old frump.
01:11:18Who's Jane Mansfield?
01:11:21Oh!
01:11:25Do you want to call us for supper?
01:11:28Uh-huh.
01:11:30And look what I bought us for supper.
01:11:38Gerald? Huh?
01:11:40Who am I?
01:11:44Old Lucy.
01:11:46I have been working hard on Badu, and I am tired.
01:11:50And I'm very, very happy to be back here with you again.
01:11:55Lucy Irving, yes?
01:12:01Lucy shit.
01:12:03Lucy Kingsland, if you like.
01:12:06Girl?
01:12:08Woman? Adventurer?
01:12:11Daughter? Survivor, even?
01:12:13Gerald!
01:12:15Gerald, one thing I'm not, one thing I really am not,
01:12:19is a mechanic's wife!
01:12:21And that's what you're making me!
01:12:24Didn't we come here to survive, Gerald, didn't we?
01:12:27I mean, you know, live off the island and use our wits and our skill
01:12:31and our ingenuity.
01:12:33Gerald, you're not even here any longer.
01:12:35You're on Badu, getting pissed or laid or something.
01:12:38Lucy, I have been over there three or five times.
01:12:41And when you are here, what have we got?
01:12:44We've got a bloody garden suburb
01:12:46where people bring their lawnmowers to get fixed.
01:12:49Oh, Gerald, you've reduced us to...
01:12:53It's over!
01:12:55Everything we talked about and planned and hoped for
01:12:59and tried to live is finished!
01:13:02Finished with the frozen sodding chicken!
01:13:08This is mothballed!
01:13:12I like that, Lucy.
01:13:14Ha! That's wonderful!
01:13:16What?
01:13:17The lights!
01:13:22Gerald, Gerald, I'm so sorry.
01:13:25It's just, two days alone and last week as well, I...
01:13:29Yeah, that too.
01:13:32I mean, it's as if two in an island's enough.
01:13:35It is not like that, Lucy.
01:13:39Sorry I got so angry.
01:13:41Well, maybe it is like that.
01:13:43Maybe if here on this island, you and I,
01:13:47maybe if there was some sex here,
01:13:49then I wouldn't have to keep on buggering off like that, would I?
01:13:52Yes.
01:13:54Yes. That's what you want.
01:13:59Oh, do excuse my hollow laughter, won't you?
01:14:03It's what you'd like to see.
01:14:05Lucy, what I would like to see right now
01:14:08is nothing better than you lying flat on your back
01:14:11with your hands behind your head, being given one,
01:14:14like every other woman in the world,
01:14:16including some members of the royal family.
01:14:18Do you understand?
01:14:28Does that mean yes?
01:14:35Yes. Pigs can fly, it does.
01:15:06Gerald?
01:15:15Sir, I'd like Rosie to prepare his bath.
01:15:23Oh, Rosie.
01:15:25I beg your pardon, sir, but it's Rosie.
01:15:31Oh, sir, I see you are a gentleman.
01:15:35Because a gentleman always stands when a lady enters.
01:15:47Lucy, don't.
01:15:49I thought you said you fancied me lately.
01:15:53It doesn't change what we said.
01:15:57It doesn't cancel the past, it's just what happens now.
01:16:06Lucy, this is unfair.
01:16:08Don't finish this year on two and two.
01:16:12Lucy!
01:16:35Lucy!
01:17:05Lucy!
01:17:36Hey!
01:17:49Lucy.
01:17:51Lou, I think somebody's coming.
01:17:55Pull him up.
01:18:03Hey.
01:18:05Lucy.
01:18:13My God.
01:18:15Hello.
01:18:17Everything looks very tidy here.
01:18:20All them things on verge are fixed up for you now.
01:18:23Proper workshop for you, Mr Gerald. All fixed up.
01:18:29Ronnie, old son, don't tell me you've come here and you've taken everything.
01:18:36Ronnie, we're not finished.
01:18:38Finished?
01:18:40On chewing. Our year isn't finished until, um...
01:18:43September. September the 16th.
01:18:46That was last month.
01:18:48No, no, it's only, um...
01:18:51October.
01:18:53Lou, we've been on chewing for a year.
01:18:58We've been on chewing a year, Lou.
01:19:21Oh, God.
01:19:47Oh, God.
01:19:51Oh, God.
01:20:21Oh, God.
01:20:38Hey, Mr Gerald, Mr Gerald.
01:20:41Hey, Mr Gerald, Mr Gerald. Look what we have for you.
01:20:45Fixed up for you, Mr Gerald.
01:20:47Look. You like?
01:20:50Yeah, I think it's great. Great.
01:21:16Be kind to my mistakes.
01:21:21Lou.
01:21:28Live happy.
01:21:46Right, back to work.
01:21:50Come on.
01:22:20Come on.
