Good in general though.
PB meets Godfather ... in Season 5, I guess there will be some Yakuza action in Birmigham.

I will give you that, it was very chilling, but then again to very good actors.
Why didn't Tommy just shoot him in his office. Seemed a bit odd discussing how each side thought it would turn out. Bullet through the head, one less to worry about.
Because the crafty mafia bloke had someone take the bullets out of Tommy's gun, they were the ones he put on the table
There was one near him on the table. I would have grabbed it and dropped in the chamber real quick like. Would have spoilt the story though.
Love this. We gather round to watch it like a sad 60's family watching Dr Who lol.
I know but the story as to run
[pedant mode] I don’t think that you really know how automatics work.
And, don’t you think that Mr Mafia would have considered this possibility when he returned the bullet? He seemed to have considered every other eventuality.[/pedant mode]
I'll assume you haven't looked at my post history and not take the hump.
Tommy had a semi-auto 1911 Colt in .45 ACP. I have one chambered in .22lr. I just timed myself at 3-4 seconds to pick up a dummy round, lock the slide back, drop dummy in chamber, release slide and assume the firing position. The .22 is much smaller than a .45 obviously and is actually more difficult to chamber manually than the fat .45. You can do this with most semi-autos.
No, of course I haven’t looked at your post history but I’m always happy to stand corrected. I was under the impression that the magazine would have to be removed in order to load the cartridge.
Anyway, our new Italian friend would have still considered that eventuality. 3-4 seconds would have been plenty of time for him to draw his own weapon and finish off Tommy. Not much honour in that though (and a very short series!)
Funnily enough PB seemed to have passed me by until my wife suggested it on the recommendation of a friend.
We’re only on series 1, but think it’s excellent.
Reminds me a bit of Boardwalk Empire with its post-WWI themes.
As you say.
Isn't it annoying though that it's always assumed that American gangsters are tougher and more ruthless than our own home grown?Tommy needs to kick their collective arses asap
Why do you say that (in this case, at least)? Perhaps you do not know why they have a vendetta with the Shelby family?As you say.

Come on lads, I know its brilliant but we dont have to start acting out the plot, just carry on wearing your caps, I think thats enough!!
Get on to Village Hats for their sale. Look the part me, walking round Sainsburys. :)

Brilliant got to have one, comes with free razor blades as well!!
Oh, don’t worry, he will. They just killed his brother, remember?Tommy needs to kick their collective arses asap
And no doubt that there will be a couple off very entertaining twists along the way. Gypsy-shaped twists, I’d imagine.
I wish the wifes granddad was still here, mind you he would be 115 now, but I bet he would have known a few stories about the PB. The wife was saying she can remember him in the sixties wearing his flat cap and overcoat then, and they did not live far from the Garrison.
You're right, I've even started walking like that.
I take the p out of my mrs for being obsessive over corrie, I'm just as bad.
Worse still I’ve started talking like Arthur - Roooyt let’s be avin yehYou're right, I've even started walking like that.

Caps on lads, 9pm.
In a way described (“ an organisation of a different dimension”) they are . I believe at that period the early American cosa nostra were a ruthless , efficient , penetrating and more ambitious than the peakies. It’s interesting to see if this ‘Luca Changretta’ is fresh paisano of the boat New York era ( like Vito corleone ) or we are led to believe the mafia has already formed its Five families ?As you say.

Or is he just a Black Hand type ?
I understand there is a blood feud for murdering angel but I wondered to which faction they belong ? Is it Salvatore Maranzano , Anastasia and Joe Masseria time in New York or before ? Or total fiction in the series

We don’t care which faction they belong to we are going to hav em, they killed our brother.
Ooooooooh.
....dear.
What ever next?
Polly is a dirty double crosser, or is she just badly in need of a Fu$k
It's beginning to get even dafter.
The arch Italian is becoming a take off off the God Father with mannerisms and his side kicks complaining about British food was pure comedy - what the f*** is this spotted dick.
Having said all that, the production is excellent, pity that the plot is becoming mad.
Or, is she...?
Love the advice, 'keep their balls empty and their bellys full'.
Great advice, must remind the wife of that one when I buy her a Japanese silk outfit
Bearing in mind they're in Birmingham City heartland I liked the subtle dig at the dirty prostitute coming from Aston. Outstanding irony!
"A man of little significance"
I do wonder, the plot thickens
Yes, is she setting him up or what?
And who let the two mafioso into the factory eh eh?
The Commy who is about to start boinking Tommy, innit.
Yes, we reckon she's up to something.
I have just got one. But I’m in a hot climate so it gas some merit beyond fashion.
Get ready boys Tom Hardy is back tonight, it’s going to get rough
So Polly is a double crossing bitch. You just have to love Tom Hardy in this part
Brilliant, roll on next week.
Belting telly, with an equally belting soundtrack.
Just been looking to see if they do the soundtrack, but nothing yet.
Great soundtrack, nice blast of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at the end.
The BBC announcer said at the end of the show last that Cillian Murphy is discussing the soundtrack on BBC radio, I missed the time and date, but you bet it will be released.
It's on 6.

Thanks for that :)
And if you want to read about the brilliant theme song and watch the video... https://nypost.com/2016/06/22/the-un...rs-theme-song/
I reckon Polly's told Tommy and Michael's about to get in the crap for not telling him. Or something. I wish I could understand what Tom Hardy says.

Excellent, thanks for posting.
