Steven Knight’s historical dramas are known for blending real-life facts with fictional storylines, so how much of the second chapter of his Victorian boxing series, A Thousand Blows, is rooted in history? According to Knight, roughly 35%.
"I would imagine, 35% real or something like that," he told TechRadar when discussing the new storylines of A Thousand Blows season 2. Knight often takes a person, place or event from the past to create what he calls "stepping stones" for an overarching plot in his TV shows.
