Written and directed by Shane Meadows, the multiple BAFTA winning Channel 4 drama series' This Is England 86, 88 and 90 follow on from critically acclaimed 2006 film This Is England .

Shaun (Thomas Turgoose), Woody (Joe Gilgun), Lol (Vicky McClure) and the rest of the gang are back together and all looking for love, a laugh, a job and something that resembles a future. Watch as they struggle with the soaring highs and harrowing lows of growing up and moving on.

Set during the 1986 FIFA World Cup, This Is England 86 sees Shaun and his friends attempting to navigate life in Thatcher's Britain. With the gang back together after Combo's unspeakable act of violence, the future looks up - but they soon learn that the past always catches up with you, no matter how hard you try to forget.

The events of This Is England 88 take place two years on, set in and around Christmas, there is a distinct absence of festive spirit as Lol and Woody struggle to come to terms with events from the past. Shaun, meanwhile, learns first-hand the pain that love can bring.

This Is England 90 picks up the action in the spring of 1990, with some of the gang embracing the new decade with more gusto than others. Gazza's tears. Hubble's launch. Mandela's release. This is 1990.

A lot can happen in a year, and in true This Is England style, their summer of love soon gives way to a winter of discontent.
