ewerk 26224 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I agree with both of the above. What was obvious from all the subjects of the show was that they all had other mental problems that led to alcohol problems. Even the young lad had obvious issues and that combined with a family history of alcoholism meant that he was always likely to have problems but he looked like a save able case and I hope that he ended up in a good situation.

Gemmill 34314 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Lad at school looked like Esteban. Used to get the theme tune sung at him. Not the nastiest bit of bullying you've ever heard about, granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Did anyone watch the new Peaky Blinders last night? I've not seen it yet, but hopefully I will have by the time I'm back in this thread. I've been looking forward to it for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Aye it was good although after blitzing through the first two seasons last summer I was struggling to remember who half the people were or where everything was up to. Â Nice use of You & Who's Army at the end of the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17718 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Saw it. As said after 18 months was a bit confusing but all the ingredients are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26224 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 One of the best British shows of the last few years. Going to binge watch the latest series once it's finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38663 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 This sounds like the kind of thing that's right up my street, thing is, I absolutely detest the Brummie accent, and I mean, it brings me out in hives. Is this a deal breaker or is the brummieness played down in the interests of humanity and common decency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17718 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) This sounds like the kind of thing that's right up my street, thing is, I absolutely detest the Brummie accent, and I mean, it brings me out in hives. Is this a deal breaker or is the brummieness played down in the interests of humanity and common decency? Dunno, the main characters are pikey brummies, think they sound alright tbh. There's also some northern Irish characters, and in s2 some is set in London. Must admit I found the dialogue a bit hard to follow last night for the first time for some reason Edited May 6, 2016 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Finally got round to watching Peaky Blinders last night. I enjoyed it, though like others I struggled a bit to remember all the details of the last series. The new one totally crept up on me as we had been planning to re-watch S2 first but didn't get a chance. The accents have always been a bit dodgy but at least we haven't had to resort to subtitles for this series yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19770 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Watching Naked and Afraid in a hotel in San Francisco. It basically involves two randoms trying to survive three weeks in the jungle ... completely naked. What a concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
