Failed actor and lighter fluid aficionado Withnail finally gets the recognition he deserves. The cult British comedy is being released in a high-definition version restored from the original film negatives, to be shown at selected cinemas and released in the form of a DVD box set packed with specials including documentaries and audio commentaries.

This official YouTube trailer from Arrow Films gives a taste of the sharper image to match Withnail's sharp-tongued wit. What a pity Uncle Monty isn't around to see this. We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now! youtube.com/watch?v=7AW8pHCJ1ik
