It's the end of the 60s, and two boozy young actors are living on their uppers - to the point of smearing themselves in 'Deep Heat' lotion to keep warm - in a squalid London flat in winter. When Monty, Withnail's eccentric uncle, offers to loan them his countryside cottage for a holiday, the pair jump at the chance. They don't, of course, anticipate the cottage being freezing cold, the neighbours hateful - or indeed a midnight visit from a romantically-inclined uncle Monty. A hilarious journey of self-discovery.
