    One of the best series on TV in a long time. It brings the viewer on such an emotional rollercoaster.

    I like the way they have separated the series. The gap between one series and the next really makes it.

    It ties into the storytelling as well, being that each mini-series is two years hence from the last. It's a bit like a dramatic version of 7 and Up.

    Provided the cast remain alive and working, you can go on and on with it as a series. Like a soap, except....good, and never gets to an over-saturation point. I think they'll probably cut it off at '96, though. It would be the height of Britpop, England hosting the Euros - one of the last really great collectively nostalgic times in popular memory, and would serve as a great backdrop to whatever themes the programme wanted to explore. Ideally it would want to do something that ties back to the original film so to end the story of the characters as well.

    I believe I read that 90 will be the last one, at least from Shane Meadows but who knows.

    I think that really depends on how well received the series is. There'll always be the impetus to carry on if there's ratings and critical acclaim.

    I watched '86 again over the weekend.

    That last scene with Lol and the da and Combo blew me away all over again.

    Powerful stuff.

    '88 next weekend.

    Found this thread last week. Made me realise I'd never seen '88 after loving the movie and '86. That was a nice surprise! Naturally, I went back to '86 because you couldn't do that to yourself! Just finished watching both and it's just incredible TV. Can't wait for the '90 now.

    I think each series stand in their own well enough but it would help to watch from the beginning, just to get an appreciation of where each character has come from.

    You should be able to get the other seasons 86 and 88 on 4od. They are short seasons like 4 episodes each so you'd catch up easy enough.

    You should really watch the movie too.. otherwise, the introduction and storyline around
    Combo
    might be a bit confusing!

    There was an interview with him in this weeks Tv and Satellite guide, he said he thinks this will be the last one, but that it isn't written in stone.:) On a side note I never realised that the character Shaun Fields was based on him, duh, Shane Meadows/Shaun Fields.:o

    Movie and a recap were on film4 last night so I recorded them. Currently watching the movie.

    Weren't the previous series nightly? I may wait until the last week to start watching the new one

    I disagree. This is purely a introductory episode, familiarise yourself with character etc. Knowing Shane Meadows it will get very dark in the coming weeks.

    I'm enjoying it but just like 86 and 88 the first episode was always the slowest
