Twins are hoping they’ll be doubly lucky to be re-cast in a hit TV series.
Crime drama Peaky Blinders is coming back for a six-part series after the critical and commercial success of the first BBC2 series.
And Huddersfield’s Jeff and Matt Postlethwaite hope their shady characters, gang members Nipper and Henry, will return.
Jeff said: “It was an amazing experience so we’d definitely put ourselves up for a second series if the characters are back.
“It’s not due to be filmed until next year so we’re not sure yet.”
Jeff and Matt starred alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest names including Sam Neill in Peaky Blinders.
Jeff, who runs Twists Pasta on New Street, said: “It was an amazing experience.
“We filmed for four months from September to December and I’d go to Leeds on the train in the morning and film for four hours, come back and do some work with the shop, then go back to Leeds for the night scenes.
“We had our own scripts and then when we watched it on TV we saw how the whole story pieced together.”
Peaky Blinders was one of their first major acting jobs, but they have appeared in commercials.
BBC2 have commissioned a second series of the show, which takes its name from the gang’s habit of wearing flat caps with razor blades hidden in the peaks.
Much of the series was filmed in and around Yorkshire, including Armitage Bridge.
Its creator Steven Knight said: “I am so pleased we will be able to continue to tell this story of a working class family living through extraordinary times in an extraordinary way.
“The Peaky Blinders will march on to many surprising places and fight astonishing battles as the 1920s begin to roar.”
The second series will see the Shelby family, headed by Cillian Murphy’s gang leader Thomas, attempt to expand their criminal empire beyond the Midlands.
