Writer Steve Knight, director Paul Whittington and star Levi Brown talk about their experiences on the explosive new BBC drama, This Town. Abi Jackson reports.
When it came to making This Town, the new original six-part drama from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, it was vital for all the key elements to feel authentic. Featuring Downton Abbey actress Michelle Dockery, Django actor Nicholas Pinnock and rising stars Levi Brown and Ben Rose, among others, it’s set in 1981 Birmingham against a backdrop of simmering social tension, political unrest and threats of violence, with tricky family dynamics tying it all together.
“When you look back, there was a period in Coventry and Birmingham when a certain sort of music appeared, that people who were completely opposite in terms of race – obviously they weren’t opposite, they were only opposite in terms of race – but suddenly everybody came together. “So you go to a Birmingham football match, and after the match, you go to the pubs and you turn up the record player and plug in this music, and everybody was just united.
