Anyone watch this on BEEB 2.

Quite enjoyed it all about gangs in Birmingham after WW1.

Three ex soldiers come back from the war, 1 is the leader of the gangsters of the title, the other is a communist and the third goes bonkers and thinks he is a whizz bang.

Based on true gangs gives us an insight into a bit of social political history in Birmingham i knew nothing about.

Has some good actors in it and looks as though it could be good.

You mean "Pakey Bloinders"?

Good to see even though he's in his 80s, Dick van Dyke can still get a gig as a voice coach

A bit like an English version of Boardwalk Empire.

Totally missed this one - is it worth a go?

"An English Boardwalk Empire" - that's a bold claim!

It is very good and well worth viewing. Based on real events as well.
