Great news, a 4 part TV show called “This is England ’86″ is set to start in production based on the movie “This is England”.

Set three years on from Shane Meadows’ hit film This Is England, Shaun, Woody, Lol, and the rest of the gang are back!

It’s not on telly for a while yet, but with the World Cup on everyone’s mind it got us thinking back to the 1986 World Cup in Mexico City, and what Shaun and his mates would have been up to as football fever swept the nation.

This Is England ’86 is a brand new four-part drama from BAFTA award-winning director Shane Meadows, coming this autumn to Channel 4.
