Peaky Blinders

There were 2 feared street youth gangs in Dukinfield in the late 80s - the 1980's not the 1880's that is: The DRS (Dukie Riot Squad) and The DHS (Dukie Hit Squad). They wore blue waxed jackets, graffitied 'DRS' and 'DHS' all over Tameside and were generally concerned with battering anyone who wasn't from Dukinfield. Be interesting to see their roguish antics turned into a BBC series.
 
The Quality Street Gang from Manchester were feared by most and at their height of ruling most parts of Manchester way back.
I read the book some two years ago whilst away on holiday.

I wonder who makes their names up for them? They could very easilly have become the Roses Rogues or the Galaxy Gangsters.
 
The cinematography is quite simply the best I have ever seen on a free to air channel.
Also , the historical attention to detail both with the script and scenery is truly outstanding.

Might pay my TV licence next year.
