This Is Englang '86 - C4 22:00 hrs

[Bigtomfu]

It certainly is grim oop north aint it?

Brilliant depiction of growing up in the industrial heartlands in permanent decline during the Thatcher years. Superb soundtrack as well.

 

[Beach Hut]

The best drama for ages

 

[brightonian finest]

Fuckin hell, that was some of the most powerful television I have ever seen.

100 percent agree with your comment.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Along with others that was powerful stuff and shot just right in slow mo, It sent shivers up my spine. With the twist of the Nazi Skin showing that even people with extreme views have feelings and can show remorse for past acts and then step up to the plate when required. 9/10

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Thank fug that's over - no more of that drippy tall bloke going "Oooohhh maaate" every ten seconds. Absolutely ridiculous character. As if Lol would have been interested in such a plank. Ex-leader of a gang of skins - give me a fugging break NSC will ya!!! Well will ya!?!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Stephen Graham was really good in last night's episode.

All round I thought the series was pretty good, let down by some of the woeful acting in the first two episodes.

 

[SpongebobSquarepants]

Really hope they do another series..

One of the best drama's of the year and it even finished with a Jam song!

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Loved it. Def gonna buy the DVD.

 

[redneb]

Haven't seen last nights so I'll watch it on v plus later. Last weeks was a bit strong what with the rape scene and that. Took the shine off a 3 nil win over Poland for me.

 

[e77]

Great, if disturbing, series.

 

[Stat Brother]

Really hope they do another series..

As said, there will be 2 more series, surrounding the events of the World Cup, 1990 & 1994.
The '90 one is likely to be spot on, as that is Meadows 'era'.

 

[WeAreTheAlbion]

how can someone respect maradona?

 

[HalfTimeOrange]

I thought some of the acting was skimmy in places, but apart from that I thought it was one of the best things I have seen on British TV. It had everything that makes a great drama. Well done Shane Meadows on a truly great series.

Has this been confirmed? Brilliant news, did not know that.

It's what they want to do, and was spoken about as a done deal.
I can't see why they would pull the plug now as it's been so well received.

 

[n1 gull]

that was f*cking scary tv. I almost phoned the rape no. at the end as I felt seriously violated.

Brilliant series.

That made me laugh. Excellent.

 

[Mr deez]

Just got round to watching the last one, really bloody good drama

Shane Meadows has confirmed This Is England 88, will be a 2 hour 'one off special', set over the Christmas, of that year.
Followed by This Is England 90, which will be a 6 programme series.

He's then going on to make a film about Tommy Simpson, which I can't wait for, already.

Not sure the Simpson film is confirmed yet, but it's a great story in the making.
