If you liked the Shane Meadows film This is England you might be interested in hearing that a four part follow up is being made for Britain's Channel 4. News from The Observer:
Shane Meadows has begun work on a four-part TV update of his masterpiece film This Is England. Writer Jack Thorne, from Skins and this week's The Scouting Book for Boys, wouldn't reveal much about the Channel 4 project, but he did tell me the action picks up four years after the end of the film. Thomas Turgoose is back, as are Andrew Shim, the girls (yes, including Smelly) and Joe Gilgun as charming, nice skinhead Woody. There's a possible return for Stephen Graham's Combo, too. Meadows is directing parts three and four himself, handing over duties on the first two instalments to The Scouting Book's director, Tom Harper. Thorne, meanwhile, is working on a movie version of Skins that will unite all the casts of the groundbreaking TV show, including – whisper it – Nicholas Hoult.
