I Just watched Ricky Gervais "Derek" on channel 4, looks like he's been watching This is England!! The piano music and style during parts would suggest Gervais is at least very aware of Shane meadows.

Oh yeah! Just watched it. It definitely used a couple of pieces from the This Is England trilogy... One of which I think was specifically written for This Is England.
Gervais has definitely expressed he is a big fan of This Is England in the past.... And we have to presume it's also the reason that Rosamund Hanson was in Life's Too Short.
Not sure about Derek, and the music was used in quite an overly maniplative way I thought. The sad music kicked in the very instant that something poignant was presented.

Sacrilege. If the music had been used in a piece of work that was genius it'd still be wrong, its not like there isn't other great Ludovico to choose from. He had This is England down as his second favourite film of the decade shanemeadows.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=downloadattachmentpage&board=oi&thread=3753&post=61871if you hold something in such high regard how can you cannibalise the soundtrack, I'd feel the same whoever used it, lets just hope it doesn't start popping up on the likes of masterchef. Derek was terrible, the writing was just amateur, everything the Office did right Derek did wrong.
