The BBC has released the trailer for This Town, the story of an extended family and a group of young people who are drawn into an explosive and thrilling music scene in the Midlands in the 1980s, created by Steven Knight. The six-part series will be available in full on BBC iPlayer from 6am on Sunday 31 March, and have a double premiere with episodes one and two airing at 9pm on BBC One on Sunday 31 March and Monday 1 April, respectively.
Produced by Kudos (a Banijay UK company) and Nebulastar for the BBC, co-produced with Mercury Studios, in association with Kudos North and Stigma Films, This Town opens in 1981 at a moment of huge social tension and unrest. Against this backdrop, it tells the story of a group of young people fighting to choose their own paths in life, each in need of the second chance that music offers. It was filmed on location in the Birmingham area, and at Steven Knight’s new Digbeth Loc. Film and TV Studios.
This Town stars an exciting cast including Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey, Anatomy of a Scandal), Nicholas Pinnock (Life, Marcella), David Dawson (My Policeman, The Last Kingdom) alongside rising talent including Levi Brown (Loss and Return), Jordan Bolger (The Woman King, The Book of Boba Fett), Ben Rose (Line of Duty, The Innocents), Eve Austin (You, Our Ladies) Freya Parks (The School of Good and Evil, Here We Go) and Shyvonne Ahmmad (Annika, Karen Pirie). Geraldine James (Back To Life, Anne with an E), Peter McDonald (The Batman, Dublin Murders), John Heffernan (Dracula, The Pursuit of Love), Stefan Asante-Boateng (Coronation Street, Suffering), Séainín Brennan (The Fall, Hidden), George Somner (This Is Going To Hurt, Sex Education) and Brendan Gibson (Peaky Blinders, Mr Selfridge) will also feature in the series.
I think this series sounds really exciting, especially with its focus on music and youth culture in the 1980s—it feels like a setting full of energy and tension. I’m particularly interested in how the story weaves together family dynamics with the rise of a powerful music scene. When I watch shows like this, I get the same sense of immersion and momentum I feel when playing Slope Rider, where I have to stay engaged and adapt to every twist along the way. I’ll definitely be checking it out when it drops, as it seems like a compelling mix of drama, history, and creativity.

Довго сперечалися з дружиною, чи потрібен нам окремий "носик" у душовій кабіні, чи достатньо просто виходу на лійку. В результаті зрозуміли, що вилив тільки займає місце і об нього вічно б’єшся ліктем, тому взяли максимально компактний варіант. Побачив класні ергономічні моделі на сайті прихований змішувач для душу Paffoni де є саме спеціалізовані рішення для душових зон без зайвих елементів. Справжній італійський змішувач відрізняється тим, що він дуже лаконічний і функціональний одночасно, без ніяких дурних прикрас. Тепер місця в кабіні стало візуально більше, і ніщо не заважає вільно рухатися. А як ви набираєте воду в тазик або відро, якщо у вас у душі стоїть тільки лійка без нижнього виливу?
