Peaky Blinders

[DJHawkes]

just watched the first two episodes on catch up and it's pretty good. very similar to ripper street but slightly more interesting. and I get the title now, the razorblades in the flat caps, makes sense now.
will stick with it I think.

I've been enjoying it too - just finding the accents really bad!

There are a few very dodgy Brummie accents, birdwoman.

[DJHawkes]

yeah they sound more scouse than brum

[tonyav]

I thought that as well, dot. I think doing a Brummie accent must be difficult for some actors.

[carrust]

To achieve a good brummie accent requires major brain surgery....A total removal:-)

[birdwoman]

I actually thought Cillian Murphy's character was scouse in the first episode. They should have set it somewhere else just to make it easier on the actors. Sam Neill's accent is good though.

How sweet of you to say so Carrust.

[tonyav]

He's jealous Daisy great result for the Villa today.

I'm known for my sweet talking daisy:-)

[carrust]

Did you know that Reuters were Brummie novelists? :-)+

[Prudie]

It's set in Brum because it's based on truth and that's where the peaky blinders were from. I thought all the accents sounded Irish but as a good southern girl they don't bother me if they're wrong!

[DaisyNonna]

I suppose your pronunciation is received Carracust.

[boxtops]

Yow'm right there, carrust :-)
