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.

Every run teaches you something new. At high speeds, the slope game stops being just about reflexes. It becomes about control and skills.

Honestly, those first images look incredible – Stephen Knight rarely misses, so I’m already counting down to this one. On a side note, if you ever end up hunting for DVDs or books about the show’s era after it airs, I found secondsale helpful for tracking down affordable used copies without breaking the bank. It’s not a magic fix, but reading real customer experiences there saved me from a few bad buys before, so it might help you too.

Really cool to finally see some first images—this looks like it’s going to capture a unique vibe and music scene. In my free time, I’ve been switching gears with a bit of gaming, and Subway Surfers City has been my go-to lately. It’s simple, colorful, and honestly a pretty relaxing way to unwind after reading updates like this.

A great thing about geometry dash game is that some levels use lighting effects to make the screen harder to see. This adds tension and makes the player pay closer attention to every movement. These visual tricks help geometry dash game stand out from other rhythm games.
