Those lucky buggers over at Digital Spy have been chatting to Shane Meadows, no doubt doing the rounds in order to promote his Stone Roses documentary Made of Stone. But the wonderfully naughty folks at Digital Spy managed to sneak in plenty of questions and got some juicy bits of info about This is England 90, the follow up to the This is England and the two TV series TIE 86 and 88.
Meadows confirmed in the interview that TIE 90 will likely be the end for the troubled youths on screens with no more plans to continue their stories. Meadows wisely says "I don't want to end up ruining it, but I love the cast." Hopefully he is joking when he added "This Is England the musical? Who knows!"
However if that makes you feel ever so slightly sad or suicidal, do not despair just yet as Meadows is clearly going to have a hard time letting these characters go (as I'm sure all us fans are) "It's really hard to put down when you have so much fun doing something, so I hope I don't push it too far and I hope '90 is maybe a full stop, but I daren't say forever."
Digital Spy also asked Meadows about the themes and he gave a great little insight into what the characters will be up to when we see them again in 1990. "The younger members of the crew, it becomes their time. In This Is England '90 it becomes about Shaun (Thomas
Turgoose) and Kelly (Chanel Cresswell) and Trev (Danielle Watson) and
Gadget (Andrew Ellis) actually getting into the Roses and getting into
that scene and going clubbing and going raving and all of that. They sort of go off on that journey. Combo comes out of
prison, he's served his time for manslaughter, and actually starts
working in the community and the rehabilitation of his character begins. Woody
and Milky set up a scooter shop. Woody finally gets out of that awful
Mr Squire's factory that he's been working at, and him and Milky become
really strong again. Everyone starts to do slightly separate
things, but it's still got that beautiful unity that the others have all
had. So, I've got the stories all lined up in my head, but I just need
to get them down on paper."
