Seemed a bit gimmecky, but hopefully gets better. Last series and the right call I think. The 90s prog after is good, scary that it was 25 years ago, feelin old!!

usual revisionist nonsense
there were no 'manchester nights' in 1990 - you had to pester DJs to fck to play the stuff.
Tv and films always pretend EVERYBODY was into the cool stuff at the time :lol:
reality was most people were a couple of years behind

That sniff bang scene was probably the most random thing I've ever seen on TV

You have never had a sniff bang? You have never lived. I had a sore arse afterwards mind.

Filmed in Sheffield again? Looked a lot like Park Hill in a lot of the outdoor scenes.

Wish he would get his arse in gear and focus on making a new original film instead of pissing on rehashing this again. This is England was a great film, but bloody hell move on man.

I imagine this is making him a lot more money than his films or a meringue?

Totally unnecessary that scene was

It wasn't like - it was integral to the continuing story. Horrible to watch but completely compelling.

Unlike tonight's episode. Liked the original film and loved TIE 86 and 88, but this was weak as f***ing water tonight. Waste of good acting talent. Hopefully it can only get much much better.

Iirc though all of the tv series have started quite slowly then got better (or worse depending on how you look at it) as they have gone on.
 
Not as good as the early 'this is england' offerings

early 80s to mid 90s was tremendous period for alternative music mind. Although remember older guys at the time then saying the same about 60s / 70s

Plenty of it always got played every Thursday night at the local indie club night. Hartlepool must have been ahead of the curve back then.

Worked with a Poolie at the time( Steve Evans) he was into the scene at the time. He said then that the music was new and class down Pools, we had some great laughs at work still off our tits from clubbing.

Yeah definitely the same bloke. Haven't bumped into him for a couple years but last time I did he said that he was still dj'ing at scooter rallies, northern soul nights etc. Cracking lad as you said.

I was 15 when This Is England came out and remember being a little bit shocked at how brutal the scene with Milky getting his head kicked in was.

It's not a light hearted series of films/episodes. I think it's all necessary though.
 
The other film/series were grim and miserable as sin. To the point of just being a bit shit.

Is this gonna be any better?
