The creator and writer of This Town, alongside cast and crew from the new drama, visit BFI Southbank.
This Town is a new series from Peaky Blinders and SAS Rogue Heroes creator Steven Knight. It's led by an exciting cast, including many rising talents.
The show charts the creation of an iconic music scene which exploded from the grass roots of Coventry and Birmingham in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, alongside a tense family saga.
Opening in 1981, at a moment of huge social unrest, it tells the story of a group of young people fighting to choose their own paths, each in need of the second chance that music offers. With songs by Mercury-nominated musician Kate Tempest and acclaimed producer Dan Carey, it captures how creative genius can emerge from a time of madness.
All episodes of This Town are available now on BBC iPlayer.

Thoroughly enjoyed this series. My earliest memories are birmingham in the early 1980’s walking around the indoor and outdoor markets. The sounds and smells and digbeth. This series brought all those memories back. I will treasure this series

An excellent drama series written by the talented Steven Knight and led by an absolute legend cast. Jordan Bolger who plays Gregory on the show was a standout, his performance was brillant!

Strong characters, top sound track, good sense of atmosphere. Very rushed and unlikely ending. Its a shame because this show sets up lots of good story lines but just lets them drift to nothing. This needed 10 episodes not 6. The ending feels forced and totally unbelievable because so many story lines just suddenly resolve.. They spend 5 episodes setting up peril but in the end there is no sense of any real danger or lasting consequences.

Really good, but as always and as per Peaky Blinders, accents not great!! Brummies don’t pronounce their ‘T’s 😊

Gets worse with the minute. The overriding "troubles" arch doesn't help. Has its moments, but those thin out. A loaden narrative (based on real characters - but not in that proximity or dense packaging), becomes convoluted, put it all under the magnifier, and the least this is actually about, as it appeared to me, is a band in the making. But of course it's that because in the world of Knight's writing consequence is an unspelled word. You can totally feel his hand, and we were switched on to loathe his razzle-dazzle (do remember how many times Shelby died at the end of PB series? only to resurrect; that stuff) halfway through.

Couldn't watch it because of the bad accents - Why can no one do an actual Brummie accent?! We're not from Dudley/Black Country and we're not YamYams! Just get actors from Birmingham - There are 1.2 million of us!

Only Brummie's can do a propa Birmingham accent 👍
