This Is Englang '86 - C4 22:00 hrs

[Deleted User X18H]

So it would have been available to play in 1986 then!

Yep perhaps. However I would prefer 'You must be out of your brilliant mind' by Furniture.

Who was LOL having sex with in the car in the final scene, it wasn't very clear, I thought it looked like the man from the TV shop, but it was more likely to be 'Milky'?

I thought it was Combo as we see the white Audi which he drove in the film before her.

This week should be good as that evil racialist bastard returns who killed someone in the original film.

i really really want to like this but it strikes me as Shameless, seasons 1 & 2, by Shane Meadows

I only caught episode 2 about an hour ago on compooter, and yes it could do with some enlivening. If he's like the others he'll have matured, in ways, and given up racism, perhaps turning to football hooliganism to relieve himself of the rage of rejection. He'll at least discomfort them at all, which will be a relief to me as it's all been too playful and concentrative on setting and fads than anything with any real meat to it. I've learnt little other than people cheat on people, and that's not just something of the 80s.

Which is exactly how SM has and intended to set the whole series up.
He says over the next 2 episodes 'we will go to some very dark places' (or something like that).

He intended me to be a bit bored and think it was slightly poorly-constructed?
Darkness is good, but it still has to be a well-stuck-together darkness. The darkness should have lain in their natural struggle rather than one random factor that directly throws them into the murk spectacularly. The threat of him should have been always there if never actual. That would chill me more than his explosive arrival.
Still, it should make for a better one-off than the last two.

I think that's what he has been doing.
The opening scenes were completely different to the closing scenes of the second episode.
They were all off to a wedding Sean was at school v Lol and Woody struggling, Sean sleeping in a toliet, bloke being beaten by dad, potential child abuse etc.
It's all set now for a really nasty bit of work to turn up and set it all off.

Does anyone know where in England this is set ?

I would suggest East Midlands by the accents........

 

[Stat Brother]

Shane Meadows direct tonight's and next week.

 

[Trigger]

Looking forward to seeing the SPANKINGLY GORGEOUS Chanel Cresswell again tonight!

Derby/Notts area is where Meadows grew up. I would suggest Nottingham.

[Beach Hut]

Thought so, very bleak to say the least and really looking forward to tonight

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Nottingham

Isn't it Yorkshire? The bus in the first episode had Yorkshire traction on it.

 

[Simster]

I thought the orginal setting was a ficticous town, and Grimsby/Cleethorpes was sighted as a possible likely setting.

They do sound fairly East Midlands though.


Edit: Uttoxeter in W Midlands, according to wikipedia.

Uttoxeter is in Staffordshire.

Much of it is set around the Gleadless Valley area of Sheffield

Yes. As I said, I read about it on wikipedia, which is clearly what you have since done.
