A series of photos give a glimpse of writer Steven Knight's new drama about the start of two tone and ska.
This Town has been described as a love letter to Birmingham and Coventry featuring fierce new music, the BBC said.
The six-part drama was filmed on location in Birmingham and at Knight's new Digbeth Loc Studios.
Actors Michelle Dockery and Nicholas Pinnock have been cast as leads Estella and Deuce Williams.
This Town tells the story of a band's formation set against a backdrop of violence mixing in a story of an extended family drawn into the world of ska and two tone.
The music scene exploded from the grass roots of Coventry and Birmingham in the late 70s and early 80s, uniting black, white and Asian youths, a press release said.
Peaky Blinders' creator Knight said: "It's about an era I lived through and know well and it involves characters who I feel I grew up with."
"I hope people from all over the world will relate to it."
The series will be coming to BBC 1 and BBC iPlayer in 2024.
It's great to see well-maintained content that encourages readers to explore further. I recently read through mouse test about CPS score and mouse click accuracy. The article provides useful insights in simple everyday language.

"The late 70s ska scene had such an incredible, fast-paced energy. Reading about this show's intensity honestly reminds me of the non-stop adrenaline you get while playing the Slope game—you just can't look away for a second. I really hope the series perfectly captures that raw, chaotic Birmingham vibe!"
I didn’t expect Eggy Car to be this addictive. The controls are simple, but keeping the egg balanced over the hills is much harder than it looks.
Hello everyone, writing directly from the UK after a long night. I found this platform because a mate of mine keeps sending random links in a WhatsApp group (usually about new Mediterranean recipes or BBQ tips), and this time he mentioned a site that runs seamlessly on his phone. Normally, no one takes what he sends very seriously, but I decided to take a look out of curiosity. While browsing, I accessed Astrozino Casino and noticed that everything seemed remarkably simple right away. Another positive point was the flawless speed at which I could switch between sections. There was a moment when I thought about stopping after a few consecutive losses, but I kept going calmly and managed to recover a…
