Nuts In May (1976)
Keith Pratt and his wife, candice Marie are 'into' health foods and organic farming and believe in obeying the country code.
Nuts in May looks on the trendy couple on a camping holiday in Dorset. Mike Leigh, master of the improvised television play, hilariously captures the atmosphere of a camp site where the rules say: No Open Fires, No Music After 11pm, Positively No Drains To Be Dug Around Any Tent and No Crockery or Cooking Utensils to be washed in the toilet block.

lacking in character
Has the usual careful emphasis on character, interaction, class, comedy and pathos of Leigh's later films. However there was too little plot to keep us properly entertained. Worse than this, the characters were all hard to sympathise with, and fairly caricatured. The more rounded development of character in later Leigh films was missing: it was harder to see the character's faults in the light of the struggles of their lives. Perhaps the comedy itself suffered due to the lack of tragedy. And this meant that the film lacked the depth of others such as Secrets & Lies, High Hopes, and Vera Drake.
