Our red and pleasant land

These days, it takes a lot to get us hot under the collar televisually. Amid the durge of reality shows parading pond life – and the gameshows which do the same – a few gems still manage to shine through, and the latest offering from Brit director Shane Meadows – set to go straight to the small screen – has us champing at the bit.

“This is England ’86″ will be shown on Channel Four this autumn in a series of four installments – returning to follow the fates of Milky and Woody since their premier outing in 2006′s “This is England”.

If the anticipation is proving all too much, there’s a way of getting in on the action a little earlier. Veteran Brit brand Baracuta (best known for the G-9 Harrington jacket, worn by the likes of Steve McQueen) helped kit out all the key characters in 80s inspired garb with a range of polo-shirts, cardigans and all the requisite bright red Harringtons.
