This is England 90.

Spring
Lol and Woody are back together bringing up two children, Shaun has signed up for a photography class at the university which he is rejected. Lol's sister Kelly is slowly sliding down a spiral, Harvey and Gadge are now flat sharing, with the 90s comes the partying and the drugs. Woody gets a shock when his parents announce his ex Jen will be staying with them as a lodger and he is offered a job by his old factory manager.

Summer
Upset at being rejected for a place at uni, Shaun, Kelly, Gadge, Harvey try to attend at open rave and come across a New Age Travelers camp and decide to party with them. Lol and Woody host a barbecue lunch, Lol receives a call from her mother and confesses it was Combo.

Autumn
Lol and Woody host a dinner with Milky, Kelly, Trev, Shaun and Lol and Kelly's mother and reveal what happened the day Mick died which doesn't go well and announces Combo is coming to live with them which doesn't go well with Milky. After a day out with Cynthia, Shaun receives a letter from the University that may have some good news. Kelly decides she doesn't want to stay at home and goes to Gadge and Harvey's place to stay.

Winter
Lol and Woody decide to plan their wedding again with a help of their parents and Jen that does not go well and causes arguments between them. Shaun starts his placement and University and seems attracted to classmate Juliette. Harvey makes a discovery about Kelly and throws her out much to Gadge's dismay. Combo starts a new job with a community centre and meets Milky to talk about the past.

Throughout these episodes they have been enjoyable and watching the lives of the characters change and try to live their lives. This one has some more laughter and seeing Flip and Higgy looking like Simon and Trevor...christ i'm old remembering them two names from the 90s, Flip still bearing a grudge from the very first episode.

The dinner scene from Autumn shows the good acting that was put into it and some of it improvised and even watching it you can feel the emotion of everyone and heartbreaking they made it be realistic. These episodes are highly recommended.
