I've been watching it, I started watching the last series too, but, I can't hear what they're saying apart from the "f" word. Can someone explain what it's about? It seems like an English Mafia family set in the Midlands!
[QUOTE=TessA;908297]Is it set in the 20's?
I think it was the style then JBR. I've been watching it all evening and I have no idea what it's about![/QUOTE]
I watched it for the first time last night ( didn't know what it was all about )
Looked it up on line .
The peeks blinders were a vicious Birmingham Gand .
You can find details on line with their mug shots .
They all seemed to be short young men probably a reflection of nutrition among the poor at that time .
It was great last night! (you've really had to watch the last two series!)
Gangland wars in Birmingham set in1920.
the Peeky Blinder bit is a bit gruesome, they have razor blades tucked in the peeks of their caps (where it folds at the front). and the cap is used with a slashing movement.
Hence Peeky blinder.
