Mike Leigh Remembers... Nuts in May

Mike Leigh, icon of British TV and film, looks back on one of his most popular and influential television plays, 1976's classic camping comedy Nuts in May. The piece helped put him on the map and did the same for his two stars, Alison Steadman and Roger Sloman, and their characters, Candice Marie and Keith.

Since it was first broadcast, the film's reputation as a landmark moment in British comedy history has grown, and here, Leigh shares the story behind how it came to life all those years ago and why he believes it remains important today.
