This is England '86

[Davros]

Anyone else been watching this?

As much as i like the original film, this hasnt really hit the spot for me. Its kind of good, but i cant help thinking that whoever has written it has watched a few to many episodes of Skins.

 

[The Flying Scotsman]

I'm watching it and thought yesterdays episode was much better than last weeks, but i know waht you mean. Still enjoying it though.

 

[MK Shrimper]

A must see for me. I think it's absolutely brilliant, even as you say, a bit "Skins"-lite, but my god 1986 was bleak. Quite amazed that Milky survived the beating that Combo gave him in 1982.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

I've been watching it, but found the film much better. I thought they were more interesting as skinheads. I keep watching it tho, in hope it will get better. I thought the toy boy Dynasty shag was funny, but the rest has not quite hit the mark.

Bugger, I forgot about this, is it repeated on E4 or More4?

Thanks Paul, I'll check the trusty planner.

 

[Frankie the half breed]

Yeah I'm watching that, it's looking to much like the average teen programmes like Skins as you said mate. Can't beat the film though no matter how hard anyone tries, but it's looking pretty good when you get into it.

 

[GrumpyBlue]

Not as good as the movie but head and shoulders above most ***** on the box

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Can't get decent reception for C4 here, unfortunately.:madman:
The film, as others have said, was excellent.

Great episode last night, if not very tough viewing at the end.

The motorcycle gang fight cracked me up!

 

[davewebbsbrain]

The end was tough viewing last night, maybe combo will give lol's dad a good beating next week, it's the final episode.

I have to say that the lead casual on the FSIE (flip) is the funniest character in the show, has me in stitches.

I'd like to see Milky inflict the same damage to Combo that Combo gave Milky at the end of the film

We have one of those bikes at our yard at the moment. Seeing it sent me straight back to my youth. I really hope the owner comes back for it as I would hate to see it crushed. It's in great condition for its age.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

I have enjoyed this up to now, but its nowhere near as good as the original film .. the first episode (ie 25% of the series) was taken up reintroducing the characters and as i made a point of watching the film again before the series i felt i didn't really need that

Still miles better than anything else on at the moment (as pointed out ^^^) which i think is more a reflection on current TV than anything else

 

[The General]

Last episode next week!? Dissapointing as they could have done so much more with this! I dont know if they are setting it up for another film!?

A 16year old riding round on a FSIE would have a whale of a time, mine used to bomb along at 60mph
