Anyone watching this? BBC2 on Wednesday I think.
It’s an interesting story about Yorkshire villagers in the 1760s who clipped proper coins to make their own. I can’t imagine it has a happy ending for those concerned (judging by the title) but it is based on a true story which I haven’t yet googled. It is by Shane Meadows (This is England) and stars two of the male actors from that and the kitchen maid from Downton Abbey. It isn’t bad, would be my assessment and quite funny in places. It is partly improvised and I thought this made the pacing rather slow, with a fair amount of repetition probably to give them time to think. And serious F-bomb alert, nearly every sentence, which was too much.

Anymore to come?
