"On August 26, 2009, Channel 4 announced that it will fund a four-part television drama, We Were Faces, to be written by Shane Meadows and Jack Thorne. It will pick up the story of several of the characters of This Is England, four years on. Meadows said:
When I finished This Is England, I had a wealth of material and unused ideas that I felt very keen to take further – audiences seemed to really respond to the characters we created and out of my longstanding relationship with Film4 and Channel 4 the idea for a television serial developed. Not only did I want to take the story of the gang broader and deeper, I also saw in the experiences of the young in 1986 many resonances to now – recession, lack of jobs, sense of the world at a turning point. Whereas the film told part of the story, the TV serial will tell the rest.[14]
It will be set when the 1986 World Cup was in Mexico, Chris de Burgh held the #1 slot in the music charts and 3.4 million people were unemployed in Britain. As Shaun (still played by Thomas Turgoose) writes his last school exam, he realises that he will have to find his own way in the world. His friends — including Woody, Lol, Smell, Gadget and Pukey — are still around, looking for love, laughs and a job.[15] Meadows said that Combo (again played by Stephen Graham) would return, that the fate of Milky would be revealed, and that part of the storyline would be based around a planned wedding between Woody and Lol that would be called off. He said if the four-part series was successful, he would follow it up with another series.[16]
Meadows said he hoped that Paddy Considine, a regular collaborator, would play a role. He plans to start filming in spring 2010.[17] In a promotion for Meadows' 2009 film, Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee, review magazine Total Film held a competition for a walk-on role in the series.[18]
On January 6, 2010, Meadows revealed on the forum of his official website that the title of the project would now be This is England 86. He also revealed that Milky was alive, Combo would return and that Woody was climbing the management ladder at Kwik Save and about to marry Lol. The scripts are now complete and filming is due to begin at the very end of March, beginning of April"
