Peaky Blinders writer-creator Steven Knight is bringing a new drama series centred around ska and two-tone music to BBC One.
The BBC says the six-part series, which has the working title Two Tone, will begin filming at Knight's Digbeth Loc. film and tv studio in his native Birmingham later this year.
It will tell the story "of an extended family and four young people who are drawn into the world of ska and two-tone music, which grew from the grassroots of Coventry and Birmingham in the late 70s and early 80s".
"The music united black, white and Asian youths in an expression of unity," the broadcaster added.
Looking forward to the new series, writer-creator Knight said: "This is a project that's literally very close to home and I'm developing characters and themes that are set in the early 80s but hopefully are very contemporary. Of course, the soundtrack will be sensational."
