Peaky Blinders -New BBC series, 1919 Brummie Gangsters

[TheMightyTen]

Coming in September starring Sam Neill, Cillian Murphy, Helen McCrory & Annabelle Wallis.

I have to say I'm really looking forward to this, a fascinating and often forgotten part of Brumagem's history and has some great writers, producers and actors involved.

For anyone who is interested it starts this Thursday at 9.00 pm.

It's already apparently had a massive amount of international rights to air buying interest even before transmission.

Blimey, I'm loving this so far. Very stylish yet grimey and stark. Something about Cillian Murphy's character is nails (new avatar for the forum in the making??? ). His accent is also bloody good as well.

That was bostin, I loved it. Off down the Garrison for a pint now!!!

So you discount a program because they used some artistic allegory to demonstrate a fact that by 1919 Birmingham was already a major destination for immigrants from the Empire to settle and find work.

All programming uses the technique in some form.

........But what a stupid title.

Expecting a gang of adolescent ne'er do wells stealing apples from the vicar's garden

You are aware of the origin of the name of the real historical gang aren't you


Season 2 has been immense, I love almost oppressive darkness of it all.

Really looking forward to it.

Wonder if we'll get more episodes this time around now it's found it's feet and is rather popular here and in the US.

Nope, UK TV, everything comes in sixes Also this is the penultimate series, Series 5 will be the last.


So looking forward to this
