Channel 4 release a trailer for This Is England '88

British filmmaker Shane Meadows' hard-hitting four-part television series This Is England '86 was certainly one the TV highlights of 2010 and now the gang heading back to the small screen once again for a new three-part festive follow-up entitled This Is England '88, which has just received its first trailer courtesy of Channel 4.

As with its predecessor, This Is England '88 is scripted by Meadows and Jack Thorne (Skins) and sees the return of Thomas Turgoose, Joseph Gilgun and Vicky McClure as Shaun, Woody and Lol - roles they originated in Meadows' acclaimed 2006 feature This Is England. The three hour-long episodes are set to air on Channel 4 over consecutive nights starting December 13th, and the series will serve as a lead-in to Meadows' next TV project, This Is England '90, which is set to focus on the ecstasy-fuelled rave scene of the era and is expected to arrive some time in the New Year.
