This Is England '86 On Tonight

I am actually really excited at the prospect of watching tonight's instalment of This Is England '86. After scaring myself into thinking that I wouldn't be able to watch it cos I haven't watched the film (yeah I'm a weirdo like that, I have to watch things in chronological order or I feel like I've missed something). So I was relieved that 'This Is England' came on last night and all I can say is that this is a film that you have to watch.

One word 'AMAZING', it was so gripping. I love watching gritty British films, I think they are our best export.

Thomas Turgoose's performance as Shaun was flippin' mind blowing. He really had me 'convinced' and when an actor has me 'convinced', it makes the whole viewing experience that much better. I am excited to see him in tonight's show, (he's all grown up); I hope that he continues to 'blow my mind'.
I'm also excited to see how the story continues, not to ruin anyone's viewing pleasure of the actual film, but I will say there were some cliff-hanging elements and certain characters that I would  like to learn some more about, so hopefully this four part series will highlight these.

On an end point I would like to say, that films like this make me so angry that the UK Film council has been axed. How will we continue to make great films like this I cry. HOOOOOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
