yeah kind of like how Quentin Tarantino did it with inglorious bastards and once apon a time. as long as it isn't slander or too modern I think its fine
If the bbc do put "based on true events" or "based on a true story" they can still change history in order to enhance the story. "Based on" doesnt mean totally true but the true event or story are only the foundations.
You should do a video on serial killer Jack Unterweger. He was an Austrian murderer who wrote poetry, children’s stories, and books while imprisoned. Celebrities, writers, even Nobel winners petitioned for his release on the grounds that his articulate, educated writings proved he was rehabilitated. They secured his release after serving the minimum sentence, and Unterweger went on a tour, talking about his “successful” rehabilitation. He was then discovered to be killing sex workers in several countries he visited, including the US. He stayed at the famous Cecil Hotel, which is another interesting connection.
@@zoso1up it really is. The fact that all these people tried to get him out even EARLIER than the minimum sentence is just mind boggling to me. Just because someone writes well doesn’t mean they’re a good person.

Have to admit that these gangs were better dressed and better looking than the ones in NYC at the same time. there's an old book on them called Gangs of NY, they stole the name for the movies. The gang Pug Uglies is true advertising.
The combination of an expensive tailored suit worn with a working-class cloth cap would have been very distinctive at the time. Back then your clothes really said a lot about your social class, and your social class mattered a lot more than it does now. Working men wore a cloth cap with cheap and practical clothes, while the better off wore proper hats with tailored suits. Mixing cloth caps with tailored suits would have looked bizarre, especially when combined with the working-class accents these men would have spoken with.
@@robertraymond762 Steve Jobs wearing jeans and a sweater. Any middle-class person in America could wear exactly the same thing if they wanted to. Alternatively, rap stars with diamond studded gold teeth and speaking with a ghetto accent, but wearing tailored suits.
@@robertraymond762 that’s a very good question, I suspect no combination of clothing would do so. Fashion now specifically for men is very ironic, and influenced by urban culture to begin with. Mens street wear of the 90 and 2000s came to Paris and American fashion houses via the likes of Virgil abloh and all high fashion takes it cues from street wear, this is in the casual wear context then there is the question of suits and business contexts. That being said business culture has its own high class form of dress and I assume it would be like mixing cheap suits with Gucci? An often “low class” thing to do when wearing a suit is to do loud colors like red and over accessorize so maybe something like that would be a dead give away
@Dark Lizzy ; Easy. Industry only works when "someone works in the industry". But whose "life vision" is working in a factory??? So you always had to force people to work in the factory...and poverty will do the trick! That´s the same in Russia in the 1930s; Stalin confiscated and burnt the harvest and thus forced the farmers to leave for the cities and either starve to death or work in the factories...many died in the streets! My father was born in 1924, he was only a kid in Charkov at that time, but everybody was starving, since the harvest had been destroyed, so my father and our family was also struggling to survive back then. Stalin was a ruthless murderer, even to his own people! We know what we are talking about! And everyone who lived at that time and survived will tell you the same!
Love Birmingham! Lived there for 3 years, so much character. I went to the Black Country Living Museum a couple times, where a lot of Peaky Blinders scenes were filmed, so cool. Brum will always be home to me. Impressed to hear an American pronounce it correctly 😂
"Apparently, people would feel better about being robbed, if they could see how the money was being spent." Nice! That's the type of content I return for, time and time again!

Those really dark streets were shot in Liverpool L8, on what are affectionately called The Welsh Streets, as all of the street names are Welsh. Beatles drummer Ringo Starr was born at 9 Madryn Street there. His grandparents also lived on that street. When I went there in 2013, street after street was boarded up and black looking, (scary) unlike the friendly days of yesteryear. The streets have since been refurbished, but I've been told by a Liverpudlian that at least one street was left blacked out for this show. Perhaps Wiki The Welsh Streets L8
im from birmingham, razor blades in the hat did happen. a couple of older chaps told me in the pub in the mid nineties when they were young. would have been 50's though. so not exactly peakies
This is what probably fed into the stories from Steven Knight's Birmingham grandparents, the stories which first influenced him into writing the show in the first place, rather than the ACTUAL historical Victorian members so named, which I guess is something he discovered in his research. Then, wanting a more fashionably attractive period, he transplanted his fictitious veterans of the WWI trenches into powerful gang leaders of the 1920s, rather than pesky troublemakers of the 1890s, which further allowed him to equally feed in fictitious connections from them to REAL though small bits of Birmingham and English history during that time, though sadly due to Birmingham apart from the Black Country Museum just outside of it in Dudley NOT having ANY historical locations of the period, so filming the first series anyway mainly in Liverpool (Ringo Starr's original home as the exterior for the Shelbys) and Manchester, but still using REAL place names in the city for these locations (which confused me, a born citizen of the city!). So, to me, with its horses and gunplay, and playing around with history and characters of the time the series in its original form is more of a FANTASY URBAN WESTERN, which gradually morphs, for the better once a good part of the story leaves Birmingham in later series, into a pretty good twenties and thirties British gangster series which I enjoy more (ironically, there was ANOTHER show actually called 'Gangsters', which was set in Birmingham and this time actually shot there, including using Duran Duran's original 70s nightclub, The Rum Runner, which was a big hit at the time, so if you want to see gangs in the real city I suggest you watch that!).
You are right I lived there 50 years ago and that is how it was, miserable violent place and the show is pretty true. You would go months and never see the sky for dirty black clouds. The Shelby are based on the sheldons who still existed in the 70s. I’m from Dora road small Heath.
It's historically improbable that the original 1800s peaky blinders had razor blades sewn into their caps peak (edited from impossible to improbable) 👍
I agree as Gillette patented the first safety razor in 1904. Even if there were similar (disposable when blunt) razors about they would have been expensive and one sewn into a cap doesn't make the cap an effective fighting weapon.
6:50// Blinders as a name from that period, based upon this video, was correct based upon their clothing / attire. your own update on their name's origin explains their dress and attire. myop if u make/show a premise that is an alternative point of view, go forth with it thru the update (if there r other later points of evidence like this ) great video / BBC made a decision that will fake news a lot of people some details do matter, like it was 1890s,andnot 1920s // God Bless
