This is a tale of a couple of guys with high aspirations for their creative talents but with little actually going for them. It tells us of a few weeks in their crazy lives and begins and ends in the City where they share a truly grotty flat that resembles the set in the TV series, The Young Ones. Yes. That gruesome! But it's brillliantly acted by Paul McGann and Richard E Grant who surely must have experienced living this way at some point in their lives! (But the life they portray is so realistic of that era.) A 'holiday' in the Lake District gets them away from the drudgery of the City into a very different drudgery of dark, watery and remote farmland. Alongside the hilarity though, there is a thread of the sadness and despair surrounding their lives. (Richard Griffiths' supporting role as a bit of a 'wealthy' gay relative is simply superb.)Read full review
