Stapes Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Been watching this since the film was released in 2006. It's always been excellent, but was a little disappointed with the first two episodes of '90. Just watched the third episode and it's the best hour of British drama I've watched in years. If you haven't seen these I'd advise it, but don't just jump into this series - it has to be watched from the film onwards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunchy Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Was going to watch it just for the tunes. Love a lot of the music from that era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapes Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Unless you've watched it from the beginning I think it would be difficult to follow. Not a lot of music so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, by all accounts episode three steps things up. Will catch up on it later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Meadows is a local lad. A lot of his characters in the original film are based on people with whom he grew up within the area. A small market town meant there was no secrets. Watch the first episode last night and struggled to get into it but he has a style that makes you persevere.

I didn't realise he was from Uttoxeter until I clocked a plaque noting this at or near the railway station (it was a few years ago so the exact location is a bit fuzzy...).
