The drama unfolds the true tale of Hezekiah Moscow, portrayed by Malachi Kirby, who left London dreaming of becoming a lion tamer, only to wind up in the boxing ring behind The Blue Coat Boy pub facing off against the formidable Henry "Sugar" Goodson, thus kick-starting his pugilistic journey.
As A Thousand Blows becomes available to binge-watch on Disney+, Steven Knight's name is yet again buzzing among subscribers keen to know more about the writer behind the scenes.

Other works from the writer's portfolio include Small Dark Look, a crime drama centred on the Russian Mafia in London, war series Roads to Freedom and a biopic about the life of Enzo Ferrari.
Knight's venture into the advertising world began in Birmingham with radio adverts and then shifted to Capital Radio in London as a copywriter and producer.
