Peaky Blinders

[Onket]

When I say 'the music' I wasn't counting the barmaids warbling. That can stop.

I'm enjoying it, but thought the shotgun wedding was a really bizarre turn of events.

The choronology is still annoying me, thingy was only pregnant for about a fortnight!

Omigod, 'that' haircut is apparently now a fashion 'thing'....

It's not like that, it's a short back & sides, graded at the back and sides.

Your picture is a wedge. I have one of those in the early 90s and grew it into an undercut.

Oddly when I hear the words 'Peaky Blinder' I think of your swarthy type

They were Lees, English Romany family not Irish.

so why the irish traveller accents?

It has been observed that Peaky Blinders has some problem with accents

Helen McCrory can't tell the difference between brum and scouse to save her life though, can she? Which is weird, because according to wiki she's half Welsh, half Scots, born in London and lives with plummy-voiced public schoolboy Damian Lewis. So you'd think she could manage it. Maybe it's all the (also anachronistic) eyeshadow muffling the performance.

i'm starting to ignore scenes with her in. she is definitely the worst thing about the show.
she can't do accents cos she's too posh, "McCrory was born in Paddington, London. Her mother, Anne (née Morgans), is Welsh, and her father, Iain McCrory, is a Glasgow-born diplomat.[3] She is the eldest of three children. She was educated at Queenswood, a Hertfordshire boarding school, after which she spent a year living in Italy. Upon her return to Britain, she began studying acting at the Drama Centre in London.
what a wanker.

Superb post. If I could have liked it more than once, I would have.

 

[magneze]

Wtf. That bit was weird.

 

[magneze]

A musical montage. Unfortunate.

 

[tony.c]

I don't know what music that was but I quite liked it. Another good episode.

 

[Belushi]

Series has definitely improved, looking forward to seeing what happens in the final episode.

 

[Manter]

That felt like the final episode to me. Was it not? Tied things up nicely.
