Aroview: A further set of adventures for Shane Meadows's unforgettable cast of lapsed skinheads, here still struggling to find a foothold as young adults while reeling from the devastating events of '86.

Though one of the grimmest 'Christmas' movies you're ever likely to see, the beloved characters, delinquent humour, and vivid social milieu make this an indispensable addition to the series set to conclude with the forthcoming THIS IS ENGLAND '90.
