Set three years after the events of Shane Meadows award-winning semi-autobiographical film THIS IS ENGLAND, Shaun (Thomas Turgoose), Woody (Joe Gilgun), Lol (Vicky McClure), Milky (Andrew Shim) and the gang are back. With Shaun on the cusp of leaving school, and with the perilous world of adulthood and responsibility laid out before him, life is set to get tough for everyone in Thatcher's era of recession and disillusion. The acclaimed four-part series is Meadows' televisual debut, and promises more of the writer/director's same trademark humour, drama, gritty-realism and nostalgia, all of which helped make the original 2006 film such a cult classic.
Shane Meadows writes and directs this four-part Channel 4 drama revisiting the characters from his 2007 film 'This Is England'. Thomas Turgoose reprises his role as Shaun, a school-leaver with little prospect in mid-1980s England who, along with his group of friends, is coming to terms with his impending adulthood in an unstable social climate of 3.4 million unemployed, strikes, race riots and anti-nuclear protests.
