Never seen this show. What is it about?

BKT.

Now I need to watch the 2nd one! I liked the orig movie.

BDx13 - 12-15-2010 at 05:18 PM

BKT, you never saw the movie, This Is England? They just did a four-episode miniseries follow up this past year (This Is England 1986) and are now doing another one based on the same characters in 1990.

gavin - 12-15-2010 at 05:38 PM

the movie ruled
the '86 ruled
and this too shall rule

gavin - 12-15-2010 at 05:39 PM

i like the '86 deal at least as much, if not more than the movie
it did not disappoint in the least

BKT - 12-15-2010 at 05:54 PM

Wow that looks killer. Going to have to watch the movie and check out the show for sure. Thanks for the info BD.

BKT.

I need to watch 86.

Discipline - 12-15-2010 at 06:20 PM

Best skinhead movie ever. '86 ruled, and I'm positive 1990 will as well.

BDx13 - 12-15-2010 at 06:37 PM

BKT, I can't believe you've been coming to the Thorp Board for six years and still haven't seen that movie. Rectify that shit asap, brother!

Personally, I liked the movie better than the first miniseries. I mean, the story was told well, but was just so much darker.

JawnDiablo - 12-15-2010 at 06:51 PM

both my girl and I really enjoyed the film and the 86 series.
90 is bound to please

I'm with BKT. I have it in my Netflix queue. I feel shame ;-)

Love the movie, haven't watched the first series yet. I'm a little disturbed by the idea of this new series centering on rave shit as that article implies.

Colin - 12-16-2010 at 02:45 AM

I still gotta see the '86 shit, anyone know anything about it being released on DVD in the future?

Same here.

edited for bitchiness haha

i loved the film.
hated the series.
haven't got much hope for this one but will probably watch it anyway.

oh, and watch Red Riding.
probably the best piece of uk drama to come out in the last twenty years or so.
I'm currently reading the Red Riding Quartet which the films are based on and it's the most compelling, depressing and brutally brilliant thing i've read for a long, long time.

I got the mini series somewhere, need to grab the movie. Haven't seen any of it.

Someone should make a This is Victory Hardcore featuring the labels finest days in the 90's lol

BDx13 - 12-16-2010 at 10:31 AM

CR, bump that shit to the top of the queue!

Saint, that was my initial reaction as well. But I guess ultimately, this is meant to be a story about the lives of the characters, not just skins. (Technically, it's meant to follow the life of shane meadows.) Which is unfortunate, because mod woody was no where near as fun as skinhead woody!

gavin - 12-16-2010 at 10:36 AM

from all the hooligan books i have read, this is the way that english "subculture" went for people of that age....skinhead, suedehead, into the manchester brit pop thing, into the rave deal....wasnt so much about the music as the clubs and atmosphere....almost every book i have read follows pretty much the same thing....many of the older hooligans, as they got out of that shit, got into working doors at these type of clubs....their friends would work with them and go hang out....ect...

so, it seems that meadows is following that sort of deal and it seems to go along with the way it was....at least from what i have read

JawnDiablo - 12-16-2010 at 11:13 AM

while it is not related to this series, I think all of you should check out a film called Rise of the Foot Soldier as well as the Cass movie....

& then make a mini-series about when Victory started signing the girls-pants/big hair bands?

OK, just finished it last night. I'll admit, at times I was compelled to keep watching but as a whole, it just fell flat for me. I think it's because I'm not really interested in the subject matter. Sorry bros. It's not something I'd watch again if I had the time.

Discipline - 1-15-2011 at 04:09 PM

I can see that point of view. If you have no interest in the subject matter or don't identify with it in some way, than it's not something you're going to gush over.

I still can't get over Woody's hair. Horrible, just horrible.

JawnDiablo - 1-16-2011 at 06:29 PM

ahhh I love it regardless.

hold up, hold up, hold up...
