During lockdown, the brilliant writer Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) agreed to write a script for our drama series, A Thousand Blows, starring Stephen Graham. The Disney+ Original series takes place in the gritty world of London’s underground bare-knuckle boxing scene in the 1880s. This period, for all its blood, gore and hard living was a transformative time for London, positioning it as the absolute crossroads of the world.
In recent years, the UK has transformed once again, becoming the epicentre of the world of film and television production. As well as the numerous television series already being produced in the UK, mega-budget Hollywood franchises like James Bond, Mission Impossible, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings have also chosen to shoot here.
