This coming week sees the television premiere of This is England '86, a new series from British director Shane Meadows that serves as a sequel to his BAFTA Award-winning semi-autobiographical feature This is England (2006). Financed by Channel 4, the four-part drama picks up three years after the events of the movie and revolves around the character of Lol (Vicky McClure), who is set to marry boyfriend Woody (Joe Gilgun). Meanwhile Shaun (Thomas Turgoose) finishes school and finds himself facing up to the prospect of adulthood amid the bleak economy of mid-80s Thatcher's Britain. Co-written by Jack Thorne (Skins) and directed by Meadows and Tom Harper (The Scouting Book for Boys), This is England '86 also sees the return of Milky (Andrew Shim), Smell (Rosamund Hanson), Gadget (Andrew Ellis), Meggy (Perry Benson), Banjo (George Newton) and Harvey (Michael Socha), along with former gang leader Combo (Stephen Graham).
Check out the new trailer from Channel 4, along with a special three minute preview of the series...
