This Town - new BBC Series coming next year
- Thread starter Hair Flick
- Start date
If it’s the ones who were on midlands today it’s the one with Robin Campbell I think. Ali ran off years back then Astro joined him but he’s died since.
This version has Robin on guitar but there’s lots of bad blood still between them.

I've watched the first episode last night and am looking forward to tonight.
Can't really say much after 1 episode as it was just setting the scene really
(the music / soundtrack is mint mind).

Yes xx
I think episode 1 just introduced the major characters. Episode 2 actually started introducing some plot.

The reviews said Ep1 was a slow burn but it’s coming together nicely now - I do wish they’d get on with that bloody song mind !!!!!

I lived in Cov in the mid/late 70s and it's striking how it brings back the feeling of the place. The Irish pubs that were off-limits. One night my mate & me made a mistake and walked into the wrong pub during a particular period of tension - didn't realise what we had done till we were half way through a pint & clocked that blokes kept looking at us, We drank up & got out quick then ran like hell.
That bit when the skinhead nicked his Dad’s hat was great. A few slaps that missed the edit apart, he was sparking them out left, right & centre.

From the first episode it looks a good watch. Really enjoyed it.

Even in late 80’s and with Irish heritage there were one or two pubs I wouldn’t take my mates in. Mind you there were more that I wouldn’t take them in for other reasons! My dad played Doms in one of the roughest pubs in Cov and I’d sometimes have a pint with him in there. My mates thought I was mad.
Like most things in life though if you don’t behave like a dick you’ll be okay.
Watched the first 3, it definitely picks up after the 1st episode.
