I saw a massive poster for Sunday night's new season, just as the tube train arrived. I let my train home go so I could stare in detail at the characters' new looks. Who are the two blokes on the far left - have they been on before?

There is a This Is England characters catch-up documentary show on Channel4 tonight (Friday) after new Gogglebox, so prob 10pm.

Is next week the last episode?

Nancery · 27/09/2015 22:49

My money is on Woody. He is very close to Milky, think the other episodes where they were cuddled up on the sofa, and he has Combo in his house. Plus, Woody is so affable that it would make an excellent twist.
It's definitely one of the characters already in anyway!
Amazing telly.

It can't be Woody, he said to whoever was on the phone, "they let me take her, she's safe with me" talking about Lisa, he wouldn't have said that to Woody. My money's on Milky taking Lisa away somewhere for good rather than him taking out a hit on Combo.

PolishRemoverOfNail · 27/09/2015 23:25

Having watched all of them and loved them I can't watch next weeks as I've taken a guess at what happens.

I think Milky is taking a hit out on Combo, and I assume with a family member. But I worry that Woody will get killed in the cross fire.

I really like lol and Woody, especially after everything they've been through for the last few series - I really don't want to see him get killed, but it would be the twist that ends the series forever. Shane did say that this was the last one - maybe that would explain why?

Not sure what'll happen to Kelly, but assumed she would get hooked on heroin. I hope she stays relatively safe with gadget.

That dinner scene was the best thing I've seen on telly. I hope you're wrong about Woody...Lol deserves some happiness!

HalfWomanHalfCake · 28/09/2015 00:41

Me too! I couldn't bear it if something happened to Woody. Could it have been Shaun on the phone...?

Lemonfizzypop · 28/09/2015 07:09

I think combo will die, it will be the final part of his kind of biblical redemption. No good can come of him staying.

I don't know how though!

NoahVale · 28/09/2015 07:24

DH thought milky was snatching planning to snatch his child

NoahVale · 28/09/2015 07:28

I thought perhaps Kelly either over idolised her father, she saw him when she was in the orgy, or he did in fact rape her too and she has put that to the back of her mind

juneau · 28/09/2015 13:45

The scene with Milky on the phone I assumed was to abduct Lisa and it was members of his family on the other end of the phone. Does he have family overseas?

nicknameidea · 28/09/2015 13:58

Am I the only one who laughed out loud when the curtain rail fell down during the dinner scene? Blush

Lemonfizzypop · 28/09/2015 13:59

Haha yeah they carried on very professionally after the curtain thing though I thought.

NecklessMumster · 28/09/2015 19:42

Can someone explain who's kids are who's? There were three kids in the last episode.? ..Lisa:Lol and Milky, Jimmy (?) Lol and Woodys and another little one?

Cocolepew · 28/09/2015 20:08

Enjoyed (?) it much more this week, great acting from everyone. Very emotional.
I do love Shauns mum Grin

Mrsjayy · 28/09/2015 20:53

Lisa is Milkys the baby is lols and woodys son and the other is that nurses kid her who sat at the table, just finished watching it was rather tense Eh im knackered just from watching.

Mrsjayy · 28/09/2015 20:55

Who was in combos photos do we think?

rockabillyruby82 · 28/09/2015 21:10

Fantastic film and programme. I watched the film many years ago and anticipated the first series ('86)
For those who found Trev's rape unsettling, it was meant to be and it still haunts me now. At the time that scene helped alot of rape victims acknowledge what happened to them and talk about it, it empowered people. I can understand you not liking it but that doesn't make Meadows a bad writer/director.
Loving '90, blooming hope you're Woody theory is wrong! I will weep if he dies!!

loveliesbleeding1 · 28/09/2015 22:40

Cannot wait till sunday, feature length episode.They were fantastic doing that dining table scene in one take.

Mrsjayy · 28/09/2015 22:45

Was it one take where did you read that?

loveliesbleeding1 · 29/09/2015 15:43

It had that look about it, and I read an interview with vicky mclure in which she says, " there is an epic scene in 90 that goes on for a long time, involves a lot of characters, and it was all done in one take."
I know I may have jumped to conclusions, but I reckon it was probably this scene.

Mrsjayy · 29/09/2015 16:12

You are probably right it flowed really well

loveliesbleeding1 · 29/09/2015 16:57

It did, poor shaun looked so awkward.really felt for him, and I'm so glad milky said his piece, been a long time coming.

SiencynArsecandle · 29/09/2015 17:12

Thomas Turgoose on Twitter (Shaun) tweeted as it was finishing to say it was done all in one take.

I'm another one who still finds Trev's rape scene haunting, but it helped me come to terms with some things that had happened.

Just superb, I shall miss it when this all ends. (But please don't kill Woody!)

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 29/09/2015 17:23

Do you really think milky wants woody dead? If it happens it will be an unintended consequence I reckon
