Peaky Blinders

[237SJ]

Am I the last person ever to get turned on to this series?

[tonyav]

Blimey have you only just started watching it, 237SJ. They intend to start filming a new series in the new year.

[tonyav]

Do you fancy trying out to be an extra.

Tony, I know. An agency is looking for Extras in Manchester. I am never around to watch a series from the start so I have only just got into it.

[237SJ]

We crossed posts!

I was fairly recent. I watched the first 4 series over the last few months.
The only objection I have is it is almost impossible to hear the many of the cast as they mumble through their lines often with strong Brumie accents.

[tonyav]

Watch them all, 237SJ. I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

[tonyav]

with strong Brumie accents.

LOL.

[237SJ]

Yes, they do mumble a bit. I`m up to the end of series 4. Saving series 5 for over the Christmas period. Then I might start again

I gave up after the first episode.

I’ve never watched a single episode

[237SJ]

I turned the TV on one time and saw a short clip of the programme. It was the bit where the family where in a kitchen before a wedding. I didn't like the soundtrack and didn't like the look of the characters. Now that I have watched it, I think the casting is spot on and I love the production. It helps that the lead actor is bloody gorgeous. I would.. which makes it more interesting.

No. I've still to get onto it - and I taught with a drama teacher who left because she had landed a part in it. Tall girl, dark haired, can't remember her name right now. It didn't seem to be quite my thing - haircuts put me off. I'll have to get around to having a look.

The soundtrack irritated me a bit to start with but I think it works

Natasha O'Keeffe, Jourdain?

I love it and I love Cillian Murphy. The music in all series is fantastic as well.

[237SJ]

Yes, I thought the same because one always expects the soundtrack to be from the same era as the production. But it works.

[piggynose]

Peaky Blinders was Bostin!! imho.

[tonyav]

Was it Natasha O'Keefe, jourdain ?

I thought Tom Hardy was amazing as the Jewish guy but he reminded me of someone from another series. I was wracking my brains and then I remembered. It was from a film about the Krays. So he was basically playing the same character.

[jourdain2]

I don't think so, tonyav, but make-up does such a lot. Her face was longer. Wish I could remember her name, but it's a few years now.

We loved this series. One that Mr.Sam would actually watch, that and Sons of Anarchy and The Last Kingdom. I have to admit though we put on the subtitles for PB.
