Jason Solomons on the TV sequel to Shane Meadows's This is England and George Clooney's bravura performance in The American
Shane's world
Shane Meadows is still putting the finishing touches to This Is England '86, his four-part TV follow-up to his brilliant 2006 film, but that hasn't stopped the restless director thinking yet further ahead. Shane and his cast gathered at BFI Southbank to unveil the first episode of the series last week (it screens on Channel 4 on 7 September). On stage with me, he discussed sharing directing and writing duties – with the extremely promising talents of Tom Harper and Jack Thorne – as well as his commitment to the characters. The sneak preview revealed that Thomas Turgoose is back as Shaun and that Lol (the superb Vicky McClure) and Woody (Joe Gilgun) are getting married; that Stephen Graham returns as Combo and that Johnny Harris is a threatening figure from the past.
