What a screed of tweed inhabited our screens last week, looms-full and truckles of it. Fortunately I love tweed: two suits, seven jackets and nine caps, both Harris and Donegal, and a dubious one produced in 1940s Bombay. None of them, I think – but I'll now and go check – possesses razor blades tucked roughly into the lapels or the cap-peaks. This is (only possibly) an advantage in 2013 Hove. In the 1919 Birmingham of Peaky Blinders this lack would have amounted to a blunder. This new six-part BBC crime drama, and Cillian Murphy, burst on to televisions on Thursday night with a big black horse and a street full of mud and blood and snotters, and is magnificent. It's as if Boardwalk Empire and,...

Actor, comedian, and perpetual wanderlust-suffer Michael Palin has been cast in "The Wipers Times," a World War I drama to air on BBC Two. Palin has hosted a number of documentary series in recent years, -- his travel series "Palin's Travels" was decidedly brilliant -- but this is his first TV acting role since the 1990s.
"The Wipers Times" is based on the true story of a satirical newspaper put out by soldiers while encamped in Belgium in 1916, after one soldier (Captain Fred Roberts, to be played by Ben Chaplin) discovers a printing press in a bombed-out ruin.
"Just like the original Wipers Times, this new history drama will be filled with jokes, spoofs and amazing examples of courage behind the laughs," BBC Two Controller Janice Hadlow tells BBC News. With a "Monty Python" alum on board, the jokes and spoofs should be good.
The drama also features Emilia Fox,...

BBC Two has commissioned the feature-length The Wipers Times with My Week With Marilyn‘s David Parfitt producing. Based on the true story of the creation of a satirical magazine that was published in the trenches during World War I, the film stars Ben Chaplin as Captain Fred Roberts who discovered a printing press in the ruins of Ypres, Belgium in 1916 and began publishing the blackly comic Wipers Times for troops on the Western Front. Principal photography has begun in Northern Ireland with Monty Python’s Michael Palin, Julian Rhind-Tutt (The Hour), Steve Oram (Sightseers) and Emilia Fox (Silent Witness) also starring.
