Channel 4 drama series written and directed by Shane Meadows, revisiting characters from his 2007 film 'This Is England'. This series follows on from the first spin-off, 'This is England '86', in which Shaun (Thomas Turgoose) and his friends leave school in mid-1980s England only to find themselves immersed in an unstable social climate of 3.4 million unemployed, strikes, race riots and anti-nuclear protests. In this series, set in and around Christmas, there is a distinct absence of festive spirit as Lol (Vicky McClure) and Woody (Joe Gilgun) struggle to come to terms with events from the past. Shaun, meanwhile, learns first-hand the pain that love can bring.
Please note this is a region B Blu-ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play.
