Nice spin to work this morning..

Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams at the O Donovan Rossa commemoration in Glasnevin Cemetery last week

An election is looming and so,
The papers are letting us know,
Some FFers feel,
They can do a deal,
If Adams is willing to go.

What you may need to know:

1. Writer/director Shane Meadows serves up one last slice of bittersweet nostalgia.

2. Woody (Joe Gilgun), Lol (Vicky McClure) and the gang embrace baggy.

3. It looks like Combo (Stephen Graham) is out of prison. I’d wager that he won’t be on board with the whole “Second Summer of Love” thing.

4. If you haven’t seen the movie or the two mini-series, then you have approximately eight hours’ worth of catching up to do. But what an eight hours.

5. Meadows originally planned to shoot these final four episodes back in 2012, but went off to do his Stone Roses documentary instead.

6. Made of Stone (2013) didn’t really turn out as expected. Meadows definitely wore his fan hat to that party.

7. Broadsheet prognosis: There may be trouble ahead.

Release Date: September 7  (TBC).
