How old are all the characters?
They all seem v different ages
shareWoody, lol and milky are all about 26
Smell, trev, kelly, gadget and harvey are about 23-24
Shaun is 19
And I'm guessing that combo is a little older than Woody and Milky.
Along with Banjo and Meggy
being the oldest.
Woody was 25 in TIE 88. So, he must of been 27 in 90.
shareI thought he said he was 24 in 88
I must of misheard.
He said 'nearly 25' and that was at Christmas 88.
Gadge was 17 in 86 so he's only a year or so older than Shaun. Harvey was at school with Shaun in the original movie so he must be close to Shaun too.
OOM POM PAH OOM POM PAH thats how it goes...
Ahh so I was correct in thinking he was 24 in 88.
What the hell ... Gadge and Harvey do not look 14 in the Movie This is England - and Shaun is 12 in that ...
I assumed that Gadge and Harvey were at least 16 in The Movie
I always assumed Shaun and Smell were the Youngest.
I'm now confused lol.
In the movie Shaun is 12. Woody says something like "He's 12. I can't leave him here" when they walk away from combo.
Smell has a birthday party in the film. Someone jokes that she's finaly legal, so she's 16. In the school fight scene between Harvey and Shaun you can see the 4 girls (Kelly, Trev, Smell, Pob) together in the background so they are probably in the same school year and same age - 15 or 16. Harvey is likely to be about 15 too.
Gadge says he's only a year above Shaun in school which would make him 13, but he says he has "problems" which might mean he's been held back a year (so 14). If he's 17 in '86 then he would be 14 in the movie.
As posted previously Woody is 24 in '88 so he would be 19 in the movie. Lol and Milky are assumed to be the same age.
Combo is a little older than Lol. In '86 she tells Milky that him and Combo are the only ones that she's told about her Dads abuse and Combo confronted her Dad but he beat Combo up because Combo was only " a 17 year old boy". So Combo is probably in his early to mid twenties in the movie.
Flip and Higgy are around the same age as Shaun since in '86 they know him from school.
No idea how old Banjo or Meggy are :)
Combo also says '20 years ago when I was 12' to Shaun in the film, so a contradiction.
OOM POM PAH OOM POM PAH thats how it goes...
Yeah, I feel like there's a bit of a question mark hanging over Combo's age. In the film, I assumed he was supposed to be about 32, based on his comment to Shaun about being 12 years old 20 years ago. Then that no longer made sense with Lol's comment in '86 because if Combo was 32 in the film, when he was 17, Lol would only be 4 or 5 years old and I can't see them hanging out together for obvious reasons. I was willing to dismiss Combo's comment in the film until '90 where he refers to Milky as having being a boy in the film and what kind of man did that make Combo? That again implies a bigger age gap. I've come to the conclusion that Combo is possibly 7 years older than Lol but maybe they lived locally and perhaps, at the time, had mutual friends between them in age. This would make him about 26/27 in the film and he was rounding up when speaking to Shaun
