Kes is actually in 88, but just a none speaking cameo role.
I think this is him on the right anyway.

OOM POM PAH OOM POM PAH thats how it goes

It's called a Harrington jacket and they are now quite common to find in England with many people buying them and wearing them on nights out, I myself have two a ice blue and burgundy one which funny enoughthe actor that played Phuket wore them in his next character cook from skins with his character adopting the next step from skinhead to mod look in that series which is why I look at it as pukey became cook.
There characters were trimmed down as they were the least interesting and known in the film as meadows had to cut down his cast as part of an agreement with channel 4, the actor who plays pukey is now a worldwide star and was to busy to play pukey do they had Harvey be a spiritual replacement for him while lex was just axed.
