Camden Town, the arse-end of the sixties. Two struggling, unemployed actors decide some respite is in order and so depart their miserable flat for a week in the Lake District – one that will involve rain, booze, minimal supplies, a randy bull and an even randier Uncle Monty. Based on the real-life experiences of former actor turned writer/director Bruce Robinson, Withnail & I has become one of British cinema’s most fondly remembered comedies. A cult film in the truest sense that has also become a classic. • 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-rayTM presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) • Original lossless mono soundtrack • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing • Audio commentary by writer-director Bruce Robinson • Audio commentary by critic and writer Kevin Jackson, author of the BFI Modern Classic on Withnail & I • All four original Withnail Weekend documentaries, first screened on Channel 4 in 1999, including The Peculiar Memories of Bruce Robinson, which looks at the director’s career, Withnail & Us, which focuses on the film’s making, and two shorter documentaries, I Demand to Have Some Booze and Withnail on the Pier • Interview with production designer Michael Pickwoad • An appreciation of Withnail & I by Sam Bain, co-creator of Peep Show and Fresh Meat • Archival interview with Bruce Robinson • Theatrical trailer • Limited edition packaging with reversible sleeve featuring two choices of original artwork • Limited edition 60-page perfect bound book featuring writing on the film by Vic Pratt, Anthony Nield, Martin Jones, Neil Mitchell and Mike Sutton
