Director Mike Leigh’s iconic tale of camping holidays and all the hazards involved. Their Morris packed to the gills, the punctilious Keith (Roger Sloman) and the more spontaneous Candice Marie (Alison Steadman) arrive at a Dorset campground for ten nights of idyllic bliss. It starts off perfectly; it's peaceful, they go sightseeing, eat vegetarian food and go in search of raw milk. Then a fellow with a loud radio pitches his tent near theirs. Things get worse when a couple arrive on a motorcycle, make noisy love in their tent and start an illegal campfire. Will Keith and Candice Marie find a peaceful corner or are they doomed to brawl with the noisy and unwashed? First shown in BBC's legendary Play for Today strand in 1976, Nuts in May soon achieved cult status. It is now available on Blu-ray for the very first time, newly restored for its 50th anniversary.
