the hitman Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Hi Folks A heads up to anyone who has been watching this excellent programme, that it returns for season 3 tomorrow night BBC 2 9pm. There have been some excellent crime dramas on television in recent times, however they dont come any better than this one. Hitman.

panoma1 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Good TV but I understand the stories only bear a passing relationship to the truth? my maternal grandfather was a gunsmith in Price St, Birmingham in the mid to late 19th early 20th century, his son, my uncle, who is long dead, used to work at the BSA as a barrel borer (I think?) in the twenties, I remember him occasionally referring to the "peaky blinders" in conversation with others when my brother and I were small boys.....we are both in our late 60's now but it's nice to hear the references in the series to places I knew and still know in Birmingham though! There is also a factual series of articles running on the Peaky Blinders, "sloggers" and other Brum gangs in the local newspaper the Evening Mail, by a local historian Carl Chinn who has links to or was bought up in the Summer Lane area of Brum!..........Rough area, tough people!

rodp Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Watched them filming a bit of that in the BCLM, boring job acting. They sat around most the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) My eldest son's stepdaughter is in series 3. I dropped her off and picked her up from a hall in Cheshire, when they were filming there. This is her - in costume. She's on first name terms with Cillian Murphy and the rest of the cast. Quite impressive seeing the cast in their screen outfits - very realistic. Edited May 4, 2016 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.w. Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Gordon that young lady must be well made up with rubbing shoulders with them stars, good for her and may she prosper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonbed Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Is series 1&2 available anywhere?, or would the story so far be fairly easy to pick up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie&bezza Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Is series 1&2 available anywhere?, or would the story so far be fairly easy to pick up? Think it's on Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hitman Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Spoonbed You would need to watch it from the start, otherwise some of the storylines will be difficult to understand. And the family dynamics need to be understood from the start. Hitman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les*1066 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Am itching to watch this but haven't seen series 2 yet!! Get yourself an Android box, or download Kodi to your fone/computer etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Saw Harriet - just standing to the Bride's right, but didn't speak. I have to say I was disappointed with the first episode. Too much mumbling and a hard to follow storyline - not that anything of real significance happened. I trust it will improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Sam Neill very nearly stole the series - he was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Well, you chaps raving about this made me watch it tonight.............don't think I'll bother again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 One episode, does not a series make. I agree with Gordon about the mumbling though. A lot of BBC dramas have been criticized for this recently. Well, you chaps raving about this made me watch it tonight.............don't think I'll bother again.
