With this being a C4 production, is it in the same mold as This is England (which was good)?

I originally thought "Neds" was a joke film...

It's like a cross between Trainspotting and Kes IMO .

One of my mates called his son Ned, I guess he can get away with it in Godalming.

Eventually watched it.

Good film. Not as violent as expected. Thought it lost it's way in the last ten minutes though. Worth a watch though.

Good friend of mine worked on the film and is totally livid it never even got a mention at the baftas while it gained the best film award at the San Sebastian Film Festival.

Having watched it I can see why. For all intents and purposes it is a foreign language film

WHS

Placed order for blu ray version of it ...

Bought the DVD yesterday. It was at Tescos. Just going to put it on now and shout obscenities at Scottish people on the TV. It'll be like watching The Scheme all over again.

Neds are like chavs in Scotland. I lived up there for 10 year and loved it! Here's a quick glossary;

Scheme - Council Estate

Where do you stay? - Where do you live?

Kenwaramin? - Do you understand what I mean?

Flids - Floods - not Thalidomide Victims as I thought!

Brig - Bridge

Pint o' heavy - Pint of Bitter

A Poon shot - a pound's worth of Whisky

Blether - chat/talk

Greetin' - crying

Guisin' - Trick or Treating

Jag - Injection, Jab...

A Wee Malky - A headbut

Buckie - Buckfast Abbey Tonic Wine - vile stuff

Wynd - Narrow side Street

I'll think of some more!

You forgot "Chib". Any good "weegie" should be able to cunjugate the verb "to chib" and the more educated ones to do so in latin.

Looks good. About time some decent films came out and channel 4 seem to generally get it right.

P2P here if we're allowed...

Confirm link is A1 quality and the film is A1 too.

Check out too 2002's The Magdelene Sisters also by Mullen, filmed in the village I lived in at the time (Moniaive, Dumfries and Galloway) and in and around Dumfries, shocking indictment.
