[BaggieBlood]

I know there are some posters on here who are also fans of this drama so a heads up that it is back on BBC 2 tonight at 9pm.

Been looking forward to it for weeks.

Top production, love the lighting, the grit, the realism, the moodiness, the fact that for a TV drama its like watching a full bodied feature film. The best!

This series is a series too far, the storyline is ludicrous. Why do they keep on flogging dead horses? It should have finished on a high of the previous series.

I enjoyed it even if some of the accents still a grate a little. I noticed great efforts had been taken to give it some authenticity with regular references to actual places and areas. But on one of the black hand envelopes it spelt Harborne with a 'u'. Tut tut.

How do we know what the accent was like in 1925, it could have changed. Also the spelling of town names have also changed. Having said that you must be very observant to notice the spelling on an envelope.

We don't know precisely what it was like but as dialects only change gradually I doubt it was much different. I grew up near Harborne and have never seen it spelt with a 'u'. As Bourne Brook runs very nearby and Bournville is not far away, it may once have had one. When the black hand envelopes were in shot I just rewound and paused out of interest. Tommy's large house is supposed to be in Warwick. I may be a bit of an anorak regarding the place name spelling but I will never get used to the accents. Cheers abbobrom.

Ok lets bring up this thread once again... (and heres some spoilers maybe!)
Ive found this latest Peaky series to be the best one yet, and we've got a few more episodes to come.
Adrien Brody (and his massive nose) has really made a name for himself here as a sort of Godfather character, and his rivalry with Tommy Shelby and his family is exciting.
