This Is England '86

This Is England '86

This Is England '86 is a 2010 British drama miniseries written by Shane Meadows and Jack Thorne, a spin-off from the 2006 film This Is England. Set three years later, it focuses on the mod revival scene rather than the skinhead subculture, with the gang variously adopting an eclectic mix of clothing styles. Like the film version previously, Thomas Turgoose stars as Shaun, with central roles played by Joe Gilgun as Woody, now a scooter-riding mod, although girlfriend Lol (Vicky McClure) and her friend Trev stay loyal to their roots and still wear the skinhead garb. Lol's sister Kelly has gone new wave/punk, while other gang members adopt psychobilly, early chav and mohican influences. The story takes place during the 1986 FIFA World Cup. As Shaun completes his last school exam, he realises he will have to find his way in the world. His now-estranged friends including Woody, Lol, Smell, Gadget and Meggy, are still around the area, looking for love, entertainment and employment.

Shaun:
[after walking in on his mother having sex with Mr. Sandhu] Are you...? Did...? You... you had to f*** him for my job?

Cynthia Fields:
No, son, I haven't f***ed him for your job. I like him, son.

Shaun:
You what? You like... you like it with him?

Cynthia Fields:
Yeah, Shaun. I do.

Shaun:
[imitating Mr. Sandhu] Close the shop, Shaun. Do your business, Shaun. I wanna f*** your mam, Shaun.

Mr. Sandhu:
It isn't like that, huh?

Shaun:
You're a f***ing liar!

Mr. Sandhu:
Look, Shaun... I'm a good man, huh? I... I... I care about your mother. I have great, great respect...

Shaun:
He doesn't even speak properly, mum!

Cynthia Fields:
Shaun, stop it please! I'm sorry, son. I know it's a shock. I've got feelings too, you know. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but... but he's moving in, Shaun.

Shaun:
No, he's not! He's not, because if he moves in, then I'm off! I'm not even bothered, mum, I'll go and live on the docks! I'm not staying here with him!

Cynthia Fields:
Shaun, don't be silly, please!

Shaun:
I'm not being silly, I swear! I'm not staying here with him! [to Mr. Sandhu] You're a f***ing greasy wanker, Sandhu!

Cynthia Fields:
Shaun...

Shaun:
And you, mum, you should be ashamed of yourself! You should be! Dad'd be ashamed of you, I'm ashamed of you, you should be ashamed of yourself!

Cynthia Fields:
Your dad wasn't a racist, Shaun.

Shaun:
[shouting] I don't mean 'cause he's coloured! I mean, because you're doing it behind my back! Like some worthless little slag off the estate! Listen, Cynthia, don't ever speak to me again! Both of you, rot in hell!

Cynthia Fields:
[Shaun leaves and Cynthia breaks down in tears and whispers] Shaun... I'm sorry. [to Mr. Sandhu] I'm sorry...
