'''Shaun Fields''', is a fictional character in the television series ''This Is England'', and the protagonist in [[This Is England]]. He is portrayed by [[Thomas Turgoose]].{{Infobox characters | name=Shaun Fields | image=[[File:Shaun90.jpg|250px]] | aka=Shauno, Ginge | series='83, '86, '88, '90 | first=[[This Is England]] | last=[[This Is England '90 Episode 4]] | count=12 | born=1971 Glasgow, Scotland | occupation=Shop assistant (1986) | lovers=[[Smell]] (1983, 1986-1988)<br>[[Fay]] (1988)<br>[[Juliette]] (1990-) | family=[[Cynthia|Cynthia Fields]] (mother) [[Rob Fields]] (father) | status=Alive | actor=[[Thomas Turgoose]] }} ==Characterisation== Shaun was born in 1971 in Scotland, as revealed in 1990. During 1983, he was a 12-year-old who joined a skinhead gang, lead by [[Woody]], and then [[Combo]]. Having lost his father in the Falklands War, he has had a hard time fitting in at his school. ==Character History== [[File:Shaun.jpg|thumb|Shaun in 1983, when he was 12.]] ===1983=== 12-year-old Shaun meets [[Woody]] after being bullied at school, who introduces them to his gang and he gains new friends. However, 32-year-old [[Combo]], an old friend of Woody's, returns from prison and divides the gang by introducing racist views to them. Shaun, wanting to make his father proud, sides with Combo and attends National Front meetings. However, his friendship with Combo ends when he violently attacks Shaun's black friend [[Milky]]. Shaun is seen crying, having distanced himself from all of his friends, ashamed of his actions and what has happened. ===1986=== 15-year old Shaun finishes his exams and rejoins the group. He is bullied by [[Flip]]. He helps Combo gain his footing after stumbling into Shaun's house and losing his mother. Shaun begins working for Mr Sandhu in his video shop, yet discovers his mother is sleeping with his boss. Shaun runs away from home. ===1988=== [[File:Shaun83.jpg|thumb]]17-year old Shaun carried on his relationship with Smell until Christmas of 1988, when he was cast in a school play and cheated on her with his co-star [[Fay]]. Ashamed at himself, he spent Christmas alone with his family. ===1990=== Shaun, now 19, is now a member of the young gang, attending raves and the Madchester town hall night. He is struggling to stay happy without Smell. After gaining a place on a photography course and Cynthia buying him the latest camera, at the local college he meets Juliette whom he forms a relationship with. At Woody and Lol's wedding, he is seen fighting off an estranged Smell. ==Trivia== [[File:Shaunseries.png|300px|right|Shaun's appearance over the series.|thumb]] *In the IMDB cast for Shane Meadow's other film ''A Room For Romeo Brass,'' it says Male Nurse (as Shaun Feilds) and played by Shane Meadows. *Shaun is based on a young Shane Meadows. The becoming a skinhead, being involved in the rave/Madchester scene and then starting a photography course (which Meadows recently collected an abandoned BA in from Nottingham Trent University) are all experiences that Meadows went through in the 80s. *Even the name is similar: Shane/Shaun and Meadows/Fields. *Turgoose was 13 at the time of filming. He had never acted before, was banned from his school play for bad behaviour, and demanded Β£5 to turn up for the film's auditions. The film was dedicated to Turgoose's mother, Sharon, who died of cancer on 29 December 2005; while she never saw the film, she saw a short preview. The cast attended her funeral.
