Looks like a great programme.
One thing that perplexed me was the presence of Perry Benson's character and Banjo in the group photo and the promo video where they seem to be in Smell's house.
I know some things change over three years but its not a long time and after the attack on Milky, where Banjo could be heard to say he wanted in on the attack - which would have possibly lead to the death of Milky if he had joined in and not been attacked instead by Combo - it just seems notable that these characters are still there hanging around with teenagers.
Are these older men looking for teenagers with a nice smile - is there something sinister about their presence or can I just not shift the image of Perry Benson in Mum and Dad out of my mind?

Went to the BFI last week, thoroughly enjoyed the first episode and am looking forward to seeing the rest this September. Did anyone else go?
Must give a thank you to Mr M for taking the time to have a chat and pose for a photo (read: 5 photos) after the screening. My poor short other half eventually got an iPhone picture that included both of our heads.

I wonder if it was more difficult for Shane to write for TV than film? I think film is a lot more versatile in that you can have any number of non verbal sequences i.e. his visuals on the passing of time in Romeo Brass and the almost dreamlike underpass sequence in T.I.E
I guess there is a danger of over writing for T.V but I hope Shane doesn't abandon too much of his style for TIE 86.
As ever I am looking forward to seeing Shane's eye for detail and his portrayal of social interaction which are always spot on. You can tell he's a keen people watcher.

As ever I am looking forward to seeing Shane's eye for detail and his portrayal of social interaction which are always spot on. You can tell he's a keen people watcher. It's interesting that Shane has alluded to The Wire in interviews as an example of really compelling and intelligent drama that has been made for TV. HBO is leading the way in the revitalisation of TV drama and there's really no good reason why there couldn't be a similar rebirth of great drama on British TV. The talent's out there and there are a few examples around, it just requires those with the power to make it happen to stop funding tame, formulaic and unchallenging fare. The small screen doesn't lend itself to stunning cinematic moments, but it's possible to use the medium to convey a sense of place and time. Some of the best in British social realism was made for TV-e.g Cathy Come Home. C4's decision to abandoned Big Brother (no more endless coverage of shrieking hysterics-hoorah) and put that resource in TV drama is good news. Personally, I'd like to see more of the Shane Meadows distinctive 'brand' on the box. And maybe Shane will even make a bit of money-finally-from his talent

I certainly think British TV needs a shot in the arm. If Shane can mix a little TV in along with his films then the world might be that bit better. ;D
There are good writers out there - Jack Thorne is one, of course. They just need to be nurtured more by the industry.

In all the promotional features I've read thus far, Shane seems to be touting the very real possibility of "TiE 1990" in the not-too-distant future. Anyone got any thoughts on this??! A slice of 30-something nostalgia too far, or time to dig out those preposterous Joe Bloggs flares, Reni hats and oversized hoodies once more??!

A slice of 30-something nostalgia too far, or time to dig out those preposterous Joe Bloggs flares, Reni hats and oversized hoodies once more??! I'm not sure how I feel about it really. From what I've heard about TIE '86 (on here, on Twitter, Facebook etc) from the lucky few who've had a sneak preview, it's really top stuff. After the experience of OUTIM, I can't see Shane losing control of the project such that it becomes some sort of soap, so if there's somewhere to go and something to say beyond '86, why not? What we'd all like to see are more Shane Meadows films, but my sense-as an outsider-is that it's really bloody hard for 'indie' British film makers to get stuff funded/made and it is likely to get harder. If the silver lining in that gloomy cloud is that some talent gets diverted into TV and British TV drama (pretty dire at the moment, with a few exceptions) experiences a revival, it's not so bad is it? Leigh's made some good TV-e.g Abigail's Party.

Just a quick update to say that I have been asked at the last minute to speak about Shane's career on BBC Radio Derby tomorrow at about 7.50am. Slightly awkward in that they'll want me to jabber about a TV show I've not yet seen, but I'll try my best.
Cross your fingers that I don't make a twat of myself and please listen in if you're in the locale.
