This Is England '86 IN THE PRESS

[Bill Edwards]

I've just come across a neat trick! Say if you want to link to a radio or tv show that has an interview of interest buried within it, instead of saying, "skip to the 1 hour and 8 minute mark..." just add the following formula to the end of the URL...

?t=1h08m

If you want to link to the second it starts, which in the Jo Whiley interview is 1 hour, 8 min and 18 seconds you add...

?t=1h08m18s

So the URL would look like this:
*http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00v4ng2/Jo_Whiley_Pixie_Lott_Live_Lounge/?t=1h08m18s

Try it. It really works!
www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00v4ng2/Jo_Whiley_Pixie_Lott_Live_Lounge/?t=1h08m18s

For the Nemone interview it's:
www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00v7qj8/Nemone_With_actors_Vicky_McClure_and_Thomas_Turgoose_from_This_Is_England_86/?t=1h06m53s

It looks like you need to add a zero in front of single minute and second numbers but not single hour numbers. This might just be a BBC iPlayer thing.

No I tried it with YouTube and no joy. Weirdly, it just ignored it and started playing the clip from the beginning again rather than dishing out an error code.

I found a brief interview with Stephen Graham in The Liverpool Echo today and as he mentions TIE 86 i thought I'd post the link in here.

Keeps coming up as 'subscriber content only'. I remember I managed to get round this once before, but I have forgotten how to.

Kelpie, if you can still read it, you could provide us a nice copy and paste of the article!

EDIT: I just remembered how I did it before. A nice specific Google search and then click the applicable link... you can then read the whole article. What low security! ;D

Click this Google link.... it is the top result which then leads to the article.

I don't think TIE90 has ever been confirmed as commissioned before! So that is major news! Good work again detective Kelpie!

[kelpie]

This happened last time!!!

Here we are:

This is England to return set in 1990
9 December, 2010 | By Balihar Khalsa
This Is England is to return to Channel 4 in a series that will follow the main characters - Shaun, Woody, Lol and Milky - four years later in a snapshot of the 1990s.
C4 head of drama Camilla Campbell has greenlit the series, which has an unconfirmed TX date.

“This Is England will be returning to C4,” she said. “It is a continuation of the same characters four years on, looking at rave culture and the World Cup. Shane [Meadows, writer and director] is brimming with ideas and we are really excited.”

The number of episodes for This Is England ‘90 has not been confirmed and it has been mooted that Meadows could push the show forward through time over a number of series, so it ultimately comprises around a dozen episodes.

This Is England ‘86 comprised four episodes and averaged 2.9 million viewers (15.5%). Its top-performing episode was the channel’s third highest-rated drama in 2010.

C4’s 2011 drama line-up will include Peter Kosminsky’s The Promise, Ronan Bennett’s Top Boy, Daybreak Pictures’ Naked Apes and Company Pictures’ Beaver Falls.

Editing: Ah! You figured it out anyway. Yeah, I didn't think I'd heard about it being commissioned before. I like the idea of there being a dozen eps too. ;D

Hope this news is correct because I'm currently causing much excitement on Twitter! ;D

There's so much excitement.... the whole website seems to have vanished except the forum. Oh dear.

[PatrickCoyle]

Excellent news! I heard last week it was happening (or that the commissioning funds were there for the taking, at least), but wasn't sure how reliable the info was. Can't wait to see it!

[jill]

Exciting news. Hopefully Shane'll drop by and tells us more

[Bill Edwards]

Congrats to all involved!

I've never seen anything to dissuade me from the belief that Metro just seems to be full of stuff copied from the internet the day before.

Need to do a total bullshit story on the front page one day and then watch the 'news' spread.

Great news!
