Shane Meadows' much loved creations; Shaun, Lol, Woody and the gang, return for this three-episode Christmas special. THIS IS ENGLAND '88 is set eighteen months after the events of the last critically acclaimed series. Lol (Vicky McClure) is still reeling from Combo's arrest and the circumstances around it, which has taken its toll on her relationship with Woody (Joseph Gilgun). Meanwhile Shaun (Thomas Turgoose) is enjoying new horizons at college, something which threatens to come between himself and Smell (Rosamund Hanson). All of this takes place in the run-up to Christmas 1988-style, so expect more of the gritty nostaglic comedy-drama that the THIS IS ENGLAND franchise does so well.
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.
