Two episodes.
An excellent documentary. I'd suggest this is worth your time.

Re: The Real Peaky Blinders - BBC1
I find myself constantly mis-reading the title of the programme as "Peaky Bolinders", as "Blinder" is only one letter different from the name of the wonderful Swedish Bolinder vintage diesel engines powering many of the narrow boats of that era.AsleepInYorkshire wrote:Two episodes.

Here's a nice seven minutes showing the starting of a classic 15hp two-stroke hot bulb semi-diesel Bolinder in narrow boat "SPEY". Later on as the technology advanced, Bolinder made proper four-stroke full diesels, i.e. compression ignition rather than requiring a hot bulb.

I think you've found your new band name
