Back in October 2009, the Showroom in Sheffield played host to a post screening Q&A with Shane, Paddy, and producer Mark Herbert.
Big thanks to JudeCalverttoulmin on the forum for capturing the event from her prime position in the front row!
Jude has also rather helpfully introduced the video herself from beneath one of her many excellent hats!

In other news.... little drips of info and specualtion about Shane's next feature film project, "Beware the Devil", have begun to circulate in the more hard to reach corners of the internet. I will wait until there are some solid facts before posting anything more about the film. Rumour and speculation can be discussed to your hearts desire in the forum!

The Film 2009 Review of the Year edition was shown on BBC1 a couple of days ago, and Shane was one of the guests invited to talk about some of their favourite films of 2009.
Not only does Shane talk about rwo of his favourite films of 2009, but he also talks briefly about his next feature film project, "Beware the Devil" and possible casting too!

You can watch the show on the BBC iPlayer HERE.
Simply skip to 21 minutes and 30 seconds to find the beginning of Shane's appearance.
The programme is available to watch until the end of Wednesday the 6th January.

You can also watch and discuss this on the FORUM HERE.

Big thanks to Shorty on the FORUM for pointing this out!

If you've seen Shane's recent film, Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee, and you can remember the bit where Shane is trying to explain to Le Donk the kind of film he's making, you can probably recall the question that Shane asks Le Donk:
"Did you ever see the documentary I made about the gypsy fighter?"

Sadly, Le Donk had to admit that he'd never seen the documentary that Shane had mentioned.
Perhaps you're in the same boat as Le Donk, and you too have never seen Shane's documentary about the gypsy fighter?
Well stay aboard that metaphorical boat no more!
As a festive treat, Shane's 1995 short film called "King of the Gypies" makes another rare appearance for your viewing pleasure this yuletide. Enjoy!

...and incase there's no more news before the new year.... HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Bill Edwards, the animation king behind the opening credits of Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee has created two festive ecards for you to send to your loved ones (and loathed ones) this Christmas.

The two designs feature Bill's Le Donk, Scor-zay-zee, and Shane Meadows charicatures larking about in a festive style!

Take a look at the great new artwork and start emailing everyone you know by heading over to the E-card page HERE

Don't forget, you can praise Mr Bill Edwards at any time on the forum, where he goes by the name of ChromeBaby.

With the theatrical release just a distant memory, and with the DVD now nestling on your shelving alongside your Last of the Summer Wine box-set, now is as a good time as any to round up the last few bits of Le Donk media coverage that you may have missed.

What better way to start than by watching a Warp.net exclusive deleted scene!

Well, never fear! The Q&A event held on the 8th of October at the Watershed cinema in Bristol has now been put online for everyone to see (well, everyone who has Quicktime installed on their computer to be more precise).
Paddy Considine and Scor-zay-zee gave a fascinating talk about how and why the film was made, and we get to hear a couple of previously unheard anecdotes about the film's shoot.

Both Shane and Paddy were interviewed by Jonathan Ross on Film 2009 on Monday night. If you missed it, then you'll be thanking your lucky stars that the BBC iPlayer exists (well, if you're in the UK). You can watch Monday's show HERE. It should remain on the iPlayer for about a week.
You can also thank the BBC iPlayer for two interesting radio tid-bits.
First of all there's a review of the film on the Front Row programme HERE.
Secondly, there's an interview with Shane on the Shaun Keaveny show HERE (you need to skip to about the 2 hour, 16 minute mark).
Thanks to Chromebaby and Morrell for the links.

Rotten Tomatoes.com recently uploaded a very interesting interview with Le Donk himself in which he talks about his top ten favourite films of all time. You can watch it HERE.

The press release/film notes for the film are now available. You can download the PDF file HERE.
The notes contain a few pieces of interesting info, including a brief Q&A about the 5-Day Features idea and the credits for the film (which of course include a run-down of the films soundtrack!).

We Were Faces competition.

Finally, Kelpie on the FORUM has spotted a rather exciting competition at TotalFilm online. The prize on offer is the chance to have a walk-on part in Shane's forthcoming TV series, We Were Faces (which is a four part TV series sequel to This Is England).
You can head on over to the Total Film competition page HERE and answer the simple question.... well it would be simple if all the available answers weren't incorrect. Hmmm, oh well, good luck with that!

While we're on the subject of We Were Faces, an interesting article appeared on The Sun website a few days ago which claims that Shane is trying to get Paddy Considine to appear in the series! Let's keep our fingers crossed!
You can see the original article HERE.
Thanks again to Kelpie for spotting this.

With Shane's new film Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee creeping ever closer to its release date (that's the 9th of October in cinemas, and the 26th of Octoberon DVD), there are a growing number of Le Donk based articles and interviews appearing around the internet.
