This Is England '86

[rachbon]

i'm really looking forward to the last episode of this. it's like the last three episodes have been building up to one massive event.

Just a thought given the lad and his Mum moved into that house a couple of months ago, maybe they've inadvertently moved into where Combo used to live?

i wondered why combo ended up at shaun's house. if he somehow knew they lived there, or if it was just a coincidence. wasn't it combo's house they were in when he battered milky though? so it's unlikely to be the same house.. ?

[rachbon]

I wonder that too, unless it is Combo's old house.

I can't see Combo being a knight in shining armour next week, in the first episode Lol talked with Milky about Combo being the only one on her side against her dad year's ago - so he does know about it. Didn't she say he got a leathering from her dad though? do we know anything of Trev's family?

I liked the Ian Brown cameo

[rachbon]

and i never noticed ian brown!

My guess is that he was just totally pissed up - afterall, it was the England match? Could be right though but I wouldn't have thought Combo would be one to fall in to hard drugs.

Theres a lot being said about what will happen to Lol and Kelly's dad and whether Combo is going to do him.

Does this not seem too 'likely'? I mean afterall, Meadow's other films generally have big twists in them at the end...

[benc]

I can see Woody getting killed for some reason.

[5co77ie]

Dont say that

combo must play a major part in what ever happens, why else bring him back with only one episode left.

After the last two endings, there better be a happy ending for the series and i dont think an ending where mick gets done would be a happy ending

[staggerlee]

Does Meadows do happy endings?

Just got round to watching the third episode. Not sure things were as graphic as some people are suggesting, however it was more of a shock because for me up to then its been a tad dull (although brilliantly acted). Just hope the last episode makes up for what has been average stuff IMHO. The only bit I have laughed at was the "punch up" in the park - that was the worst rammys I have ever seen, looked like something out of a playgroup fight.

I do like Woody to be fair.

[timespeedsup]

He was one of the coppers

[pezzypops]

just watched it again and i couldn't make out the faces on any of the coppers.

[5co77ie]

As for what's going to happen next week, someone definately dies, Mick would be the obvious choice but as everyone is saying the obvious choice doesn't always happen. Combo must have some kind of involvement with whatever happens.

[rachbon]

whatever happens, i really don't want combo to be some sort of hero.

i can't see woody or milky doing anything to mick, just don't think they've got it in them.

[rachbon]

Dunno like, I reckon Milky got a bit of a mean side. Not 'nasty' like combo but if he went on the offensive (in someone else's defense ie. Lol) then I wouldn't wanna mess.

Loved that grin he gave when Combo was braying him in This Is England. Almost like saying to the thug 'You will never win...'

I don't think Milky has it in him either but perhaps if put in the position where he needs to save someone he might. I really can't wait to see this episode. Hope it lives up to expectations.
