Ronald Megford, referred to as Meggy, is a fictional character in the television series This Is England, and he is portrayed by Perry Benson.
Characterization
Meggy is an adult that hangs around the gang, who are much younger than him. Most of the things he says make no sense, and he is the type of 'sad' human being that does so because probably no other adults would take him seriously. He is a bit of a nonce case, and although he is there when violent things happen, he isn't really a violent person although he's not very likable.
Character History
1983
Meggy joined Combo's English nationalist group, and attended the National Front meeting. He witnessed Combo flip out and attack Milky, but thought he was messing about. Combo smashed a bottle over Banjo and the blood going in Meggy's face. Combo then beat up Banjo and strangled Meggy but they both escaped with haste and left Combo in the flat with the unconscious Milky.
1986
Meggy has a heart attack in the toilets at the wedding reception but Harvey fortunately saves him and takes him to the hospital. He then recovers and manages to get out of hospital quickly with the gang. It is later hinted that he has a son with Trudy, as the boy has very similar characteristics to Meggy.
Death
Meggy does not appear in This is England '88. Producer Mark Herbert tweeted that this was because the character apparently 'died taking a dump' off-screen in 1987.
