This Is England '88 - Channel 4

[RaphaelMeade]

can't really get into it. makes me wanna just watch some alan clarke films. the sword wielding terrifying bald guy with the goaty (who accompanied stephen graham's character when he first appeared in the original film) now singing rick astley karaoke!?

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Just watched the first one and couldn't be happier.

 

[Insel affe]

I fear that woody who is being pushed into a life he clearly does not want will commit suicide......

I was thinking the same but wondering if he will do it with Lol who is equally depressed. Alternatively they will get back together.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Woody and lol, are going to get back together. It has to happen, you can clearly see Woody doesn't want this life and the promotion. He wants his normal life back, I very much doubt he will commit suicide through.

Are you watching the same thing ?

After Lol declared her love for Combo I doubt.

No happy endings me thinks.

 

[Common as Mook]

This is England doesn't do happy endings.

After Lol declared her love for Combo I doubt.

No happy endings me thinks.

I can't see them killing off two main characters. I can see Smell going tonight. Woody is definitely going to flip tonight, but where is he anger going to be directed to I'm not sure who. Maybe Jennifer could be in for it tonight?!

 

[Chesney Christ]

After Lol declared her love for Combo I doubt.

Eh? When did that happen? Do you mean Milky?

 

[Chesney Christ]

I thought it was an OUTSTANDING first episode, and has set up the series beautifully.

One thing that baffles me though is that..... the machete-wielding maniac who seemed to be a very bad influence on Combo - and its hinted in the film that he kinda turned Combo racist in prison - and also held down Shaun when he tried to stop Combo beating Milky half to death in the film.... is now mates with everyone (including Milky). What the f***?

 

[Insel affe]

In prison she told Combo she loved him and they both got very emotional after the visit to the nurse.

SHIT. I've missed an episode.... I thought it was a weekly thing.

I'll have to catch up on 4OD tonight, and suffice to say I will be staying off this thread to avoid spoiling it for myself further!

Classic

In prison she told Combo she loved him and they both got very emotional after the visit to the nurse.

Combo obvioulsy loves her in the true sense of the word. When she said she loved him I thought she meant loved him because of what he sacrificed for her, I could be reading into it too much. Amazing television though, I am actually counting down the hours till 10pm.

 

[Stat Brother]

We're a day behind so have just watched last nights.

How bloody good is Stephen Graham, so believable so so believable, in everything he's ever done.

Meadows has definitely ramped up the emotion this time, even the 'lighter' moments, Shaun in the play, is a car crash waiting to happen.

 

[Andrew]

Anyone have any clue what just happened?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

vicky mcclure who plays lol is f***ing brilliant

 

[turienzo's lovechild]
