Be Excellent To Each Other

Just a heads up really.

For those who liked the film This is England C4 have done a 4 part series. It starts on Weds. IIRC 9PM as I have set my PVR incase I forget

Tuesday 7th at 10pm.

Doesn't seem to be on HD though.

Aye, I'm looking forward to this.

I haven't seen too many trailers for it (I haven't really been looking out for it mind) but I do like these kind of shows that Channel 4 show.

I will watch but really all I'll be doing is wondering whether 80s birds were really hot or whether bad make up, shoulder pads and rubbish perms just helped them along. All female cast members will be marked on my The Egg's Scale of Sam Fox-iness (Before She Went Mental).

I don't like my TV to be too intellimectual so am actually really looking forward to season the of the Inbetweeners which starts the week after. Clunge.

Bus wanker

Yeah that's him. My PVR's clock is an hour behind and I can't be assed to do a rescan of all the channels to fix it

Still have to watch the film. Is the series a continuation with the same characters?

Yeah, set a few years later. The film is great, get it watched.

I hate films about the working class. I'll have nothing to do with the filthy unwashed oiks.

From the look of the photo in the TV mag the actors are the same too. I doubt Tommy from Snatch will be in it again (nor that crazy fat hard nut dude from several films) as they'd probably want too much money, but the rest are all there in place.

Woody was my favourite character so I hope he's the right one (dude from Emmerdale). He reminds me of a guy I knew in Manchester when I was a kid

I thought



but



ponders. Is it directed by Shane Meadows?

I'm looking forward to this. It's so interesting watching things like since Scotland is so civilised we never really see it in real life.

Aren't they doing 'This is England 1986' at some point, too?

Yeah, that's what this thread is about.

Oh right. Never mind then.

Finally watched the film. Fucking brilliant. Can't wait for the series now.

Oh wait, I don't have to!

At the end his mum says "Don't worry sean... I'm sure Milky will be OK".

I thought she was lying to him to placate him.

Dead Mans Shoes is way better. I hope the series isnt pish and ruin Meadows reputation.

Dead Mans Shoes is fucking brilliant, never felt that much real tension from a film.

This series is a bit shit really.

I'm enjoying it. It's certainly different in tone to the film with more laughs (or attempted laughs) rather than expecting each scene to erupt into violence. Still fuck all else on TV that's better.

I don't know, everything in the film seemed to ring true, it had a perfect sense of time and place and I really bought in to all the characters. This just doesn't have any of that. In fact I'd say it's doing a pretty thorough job of ruining EVERYTHING

Racist.

FMPVR.

Twice I have told it to record and twice it's fucking forgot. Bastard PVR

I'll have to see if I can download it or something.

Your PVR is shit.

Have you flashed its BIOS?

Yeah. Oddly I have. I had to recently 'cos of all the new channels added. Mum likes her shopping see.

Everything else works fine.

ive got these on the PVR, started watching a bit of the second one because by coincidence I was by the TV at the time.
It did seem pretty watered down pish version of the film. But then, Id missed the first ep, so might have to give it more of a chance.
As someone said however, I doubt there is anything better on TV atm.

Can't you buy a TV card for your Rig?

You might need extra GFX cards too though for the pixies.

Got a TV card but I've been too busy for TV lately. That's why I record it all.

Grand designs was good yesterday. I watched it late.

Well I really enjoyed that mini series. Certainly got darker in the last two episodes with some very hard to watch scenes. Powerful stuff. The best thing that's been on TV for bloody ages.

Yeah, it was good TV. But oh, god, that girl's voice.

Smell?

If you must.

*inhales*

...mmm... pork scratchings and Hai Karate.

Watched the last episode of this last night, it was great. In fact the last two episodes were way better than the first two. Perhaps unsurprisingly since it was Shane Meadows who directed them. The first two just didn't seem right at all.

I ended up missing it all

Must find online...

How many were there in total?
