Really enjoyed it.

The biker gang bit was very funny.

I liked watching it (and the film) and going "that's Grimsby" over and over again.

Loved the leader of the gang saying "halt" and then the desperate attempt to turn the various bikes around...

Good so far

[anorak]How did milky afford a bmw e28 in 1986?[/anorak] or was I paying attention to the wrong thing

[Steamer]

I did wonder the same thing. But - in the film he was driving [somebodys] Rover IIRC...

...and it hasnt really focused on Milky much as yet, we might find out a bit more next week.

Am I the only one that finds this program utterly cringeworthy, felt the same about the film. The political and social genres of the main characters make no sense, goth, skinhead, black, 12 year old boy, these are surely not a group that would mix particularly in the wholesome, almost dawsons creek way the main protagonists in the show/film do.

Funny realy, but the group I grew up with around that time were almost exactly that spread of people!

I am really enjoying the series, really looking forward to the next episode.

he's like a British Joe Pesci... In Snatch, he was a comical, funny wee bloke. In This is England, he was truly terrifying. great character, and actor.

Shame Meadows is the director of the final 2 episodes (he's the bloke who directed the film), so I reckon we'll see a step up this week and for the finale next week

No. Tom Harper did episode 1 & 2.

[timlongs]

That fight was hilarious. "I'll count down from 13"

[NismoGT]

Hope next weeks episode is better than tonights.

[timlongs]

That was, intense. I'll miss next weeks as I'll be extremely drunk on freshers week.

What happened? I don't watch it, but apparently it was knocking people sick.
