Peaky Blinders fans in the US need subtitles to understand Brummie accents


Writer Steven Knight says even the actors still struggle with the accent despite reaching Season Five of the hit programme, which airs later this summer

Knight was promoting a new Peaky Blinders festival in September, featuring bands including Primal Scream playing across five stages. There will also be live enactments of scenes from the show.
John Empson, festival director, said the event would also feature cinema, theatre, ballet and appearances by cast members and special guests.

:dance:
The Legitimate Peaky Blinders Festival is on September 14 and 15.

Finally got round to watching "The Boys" last night on Amazon Prime Video. It's very watchable - a bit of an antithesis to the current crop of Marvel TV series/movies:


The premise is that this group of corporate super heros aren't exactly nice people, unbeknown to the adoring general public. A group of "boys" plan to take them down a peg or two.

I really hope there is - it's one of the better TV shows I've seen this year. Seems like they've got good feedback for it too, so that's a positive. It's funny seeing Simon Pegg in such a small role on the show, given that he's now a bit star.

Anyone seen the trailers for The Mandalorian? Looks like it should be fantastic.

I'm an absolute sucker for any Star Wars TV show or series. I'm loving all of these high-budget series coming out, and I'm sure The Mandalorian will be right up there :D.

Do you know how we can watch this in the UK? Disney+ the only way for now?

Yeah I like some of the SW series, Rebels was great, working my way, slowly, through The Clone Wars, its OK, but a bit slow in places. Not started Resistance yet, but I see the reviews for it ain't great.

It's the only legal way, yes.

I saw that, strange as its getting universally praised every where else. Maybe the writer was having a bad day!

Yeah I thought The Mandalorian was good too. Showing promise
Just watched this a couple of days ago - seems promising! The ending of EP1 was interesting...

Going to watch EP2 this weekend :).

Not yet. I'm so behind on things to watch now, but I will be adding this to my ever-growing watch list :lol: .

Can't remember if you've played the game? I've played a fair chunk of most recent one (III).
