By frag_editorial So far I’ve only watched one and a half episodes of House of Guinness (2025), but the first 4 minutes immediately resonated: I’d seen a version of this before. Horses, hats, industry, a flash of red… I knew I wouldn’t stop thinking about it until I’d put the sequence into Premiere alongside the now iconic opening of Peaky Blinders (2013), also created by Steven Knight. Whether it merits any further exploration I can’t decide, so here it is as an itch relieved – at least for now.
