THIS IS ENGLAND TV series sequel

Shane Meadows is to make his first foray into television with a sequel to his award-winning film This Is England for Channel 4.
Meadows will co-write 4 x 60-minute drama serial We Were Faces with Jack Thorne (The Scouting Book for Boys, Skins), with filming scheduled to begin
next spring.
This Is England, which picked up several awards including the 2008 Bafta for Best British Film, centred on young skinheads in the summer of 1983. It
followed 12-year-old Shaun, played by Thomas Turgoose, and his acceptance into a group of skinheads, which is eventually split by a growing racist
influence.
We Were Faces revists the main characters – Shaun, Woody and Lol – in 1986, when the World Cup was taking place in Mexico, Chris de Burgh held the
number one slot and 3.4 million were unemployed in Britain.
As Shaun sits his last school exam, the realisation dawns that he will have to find his own way in the world. But friends including Woody, Lol, Smell,
Gadget and Pukey are around looking for love, laughs and a job.
All the main cast, including Turgoose, are expected to return.
Meadows, who has helmed movies such as Twentyfoureven, Dead Man’s Shoes and A Room for Romeo Brass, said: “When I finished This is England, I had a
wealth of material and unused ideas that I felt very keen to take further.
“Audiences seemed to really respond to the characters we created and out of my long-standing relationship with Film 4 and Channel 4 the idea for a
television serial developed.
“Not only did I want to take the story of the gang broader and deeper, I also saw in the experiences of the young in 1986 many resonances to new –
recession, lack of jobs, sense of the world at a turning point.
“Whereas the film told part of the story, the TV serial will tell the rest.”
Commissioned by C4 head of drama Liza Marshall, it will be made by Warp Films with Mark Herbert as series producer and Derrin Schlesinger as producer.
Marshall has also ordered an adaptation of William Boyd’s best-selling novel Any Human Heart. Carnival Films will produce the 4 x 90-minute serial,
which traces the journals of fictional writer-adventurer Logan Mountstuart. Written by Boyd, filming will commence this winter. Lynn Horsford (Boy A)
and Lee Morris (The Damned United) will produce, with Sally Woodward Gentle as executive producer.
As previously announced, C4 is also lining up 4 x 60-minute serial Homeland, from Peter Kosminsky, which explores the events and aftermath of the
British Mandate in 1940s Palestine. Daybreak Pictures will begin filming in February 2010 with Hal Vogal (Endgame) as producer and David Aukin (Britz)
as executive producer.
Marshall said: “Given our budgets relative to other broadcasters, Channel 4 manages to consistently punch above its weight in terms of impact and I’m
confident that the 2010/11 slate of bold new drama will not disappoint.”
C4 today confirmed that drama will receive a £20m boost from funds released by the broadcaster’s decision to end Big Brother next year.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Given that I didn't care for the movie, I doubt I will get any enjoyment out of this.

Goddamn Paul, I just didn't get into the movie. It seemed like a good plot but the acting killed it for me.
Plus one of the main characters played a goof in Snatch so I couldn't help but think of that every time I saw him.

good stuff, definitely curious to check it out.
I like Shane Meadows' films but I didn't bother checking out his last one.
It was a comedy about a northern kid running away to London.
Check out Dead Man's Shoes if you haven't seen it.
Great film.

so,it's because of a crush that you have on Stevie that taints your view?
this role didn't ruffle your feathers like it did in "Gangs Of New York" ?
I'M FUCKING WITH YOU,SLAPPY!!!!
I loved the movie...you don't have to...

I liked the movie, but as far as Skinhead movies go, "American History X", "Romper Stomper" and "The Believer" were better.

I seriously disagree. I like the 3 movies you mentioned, but they all focus on the nazi skins. This is England actually looked at real skinheads as
it used to be. It was far superior to the others.
