Thomas Shelby MP’s final appearance in the Commons wasn’t what you’d call conventional. He met Mitford on the famous green leatherette seats, requesting support for his housing bill – while outlining his leverage on an artfully folded paper plane. Peaky Blinders emerged from the area of Small Heath in Birmingham, with the first reported activities detailed in a newspaper in March 1890 which described the brutal assault on a man by a gang known as “Peaky Blinders”. The group were already gaining infamy for their violence and brutality in the criminal world and were keen to have their activities recorded in the national newspapers. Violence and bribery allowed Peaky Blinders enormous levels of control in the area. Economically, politically and socially, the Peaky Blinders called the shots and dictated the decisions. Culturally, they were dominating the scene. You are cursed, Tommy,” wept his wife Lizzie (Natasha O’Keeffe). With their daughter Ruby dead, there’s an argument to say that Tommy didn’t need her any more. Young Charles, remember, is the son of Tommy’s late first wife Grace. He’d grown increasingly distant, not even telling her about his terminal tumour. The final straw was sleeping with the enemy, Diana Mitford (Amber Anderson). One of you will die. Which I cannot tell.” This barrelling episode began with vengeful Michael Gray (Finn Cole) finally getting out of jail, where he’d been simmering all series after being set up by Tommy (Cillian Murphy). His intentions to kill his cousin had been stated all series. Now moustachioed Mikey (don’t call him that) put his plan into action.

Subsequently the members’ families moved away from central Birmingham and its streets, choosing instead to live in the countryside, favourably distant from the main source of violence. In time, the Peaky Blinders were usurped by another gang with strong affiliations affirming their political and cultural control in the Midlands. The Birmingham Boys led by Billy Kimber would take their place and dominate the criminal scene until they too were defeated by another rivalry, the Sabini gang who took control in the 1930’s.

It was as Kitten, a transgender dreamer searching for her mother in Breakfast on Pluto, that he first proved his remarkable versatility. The film’s director and co-writer, Neil Jordan, wasn’t sure if the role was even playable until he did some early tests with Murphy. “Cillian brought absolute conviction to the part,” he says. “I realised that perhaps it could work if I had someone like him to bring the character to life. After that, he kept calling me – ‘When are we doing it?’ – and eventually kind of wore me down.” If Murphy is to be believed, he has barely even started. “Early on, I read that it takes 30 years to make a good actor,” he says. He has been at it for a quarter of a century now. “So hopefully I’m approaching … well, something.” This summer, he will be the main attraction at the Manchester international festival, where All of This Unreal Time, a new film in which he stars (and which teams him with the musician Jon Hopkins and Grief author Max Porter), will be screened as part of an immersive installation. He will also turn 45 a few days after we speak, so I wish him a happy birthday as we wrap up. “Oh, God,” he groans, as though he has just been reminded of a large outstanding bill. “Yeah. Thanks.” Here’s to a few more sitting-down roles. “I’ll take that all right.” As we all patiently wait for Season 6 (and the outcome of THAT cliffhanger), why don’t you find out even more about the ‘real’ Peaky Blinders? We have found the perfect audiobook for you!

With Helen McCrory in Peaky Blinders. Photograph: Matt Squire/BBC/Caryn Mandabach Productions Ltd 2019 Fan favourite Alfie Solomons (Tom Hardy) arrived for one last spot of scenery-chewing, announcing himself with “I smell the smell of roasting Irishmen”. It turned out to be the mumbling Jewish mobster who was the only hotel guest on Miquelon Island. In return for Tommy selling his opium to the Solomons gang and giving them Boston supremacy, Alfie signed over Camden Town to Tommy. Cillian Murphy, star of the new horror sequel A Quiet Place Part II, is something to behold: X-ray eyes at once penetrating and ethereally blue, cheekbones so pronounced you could stretch out and go to sleep on them. Unfortunately, the beholding will have to wait. We have barely exchanged greetings over Zoom when his voice breaks up, the screen freezes and the room falls silent. A quiet place, indeed. Laurence has won numerous awards in his journalism career, including the BSME Talent Award’s Best Deputy Editor, the PPA's 30 Under 30, and the New Editor and Editor of the Year at the AOP and BSMEs. He led Digital Spy to win PPA's Digital Content Team of the Year twice, along with the British Media Awards’ Brand of the Year in 2021.

In the late 1800’s these gangs were made up of a variety of ages, varying from as young as twelve, up to the age of thirty. It was not long before the groups gained organisation through informal hierarchies. Some of the members would go on to become very powerful, for example Thomas Gilbert who became known as Kevin Mooney, who was considered to be one, if not the most, prominent member of the Peaky Blinders. Before that, he held roles as Editor, Deputy Editor, and Associate Editor focusing on news, social, and video.Laurence hosted the BBC Sounds podcast Obsessed with Peaky Blinders in 2019, as well as his own podcast production, Time of My Life, where he interviews fascinating elders about their life lessons, including Only Fools and Horses' Sir David Jason, Star Trek’s George Takei and Bridgerton’s Adjoa Andoh. In a slowburn shootout reminiscent of Battleship Potemkin’s Odessa Steps sequence, complete with crying baby, the IRA trio played cat-and-mouse with Arthur, Charlie and Jeremiah Jesus (Benjamin Zephaniah). The coup de grâce was “an old keepsake from Passchendaele”. The Peakys released mustard gas into the mist-shrouded alley and emerged in gas masks to gun down their opponents.

He mulls this over. “Well, it felt like enough for me to try to give a performance. And I don’t think it’s a bad thing if the premise is the star of a movie, if it’s a good premise. If the job is to serve the concept the best you can, I’m totally down with that.” One of the main factors that precipitated their rise in power was that so many leading figures, for example in business, the law and elsewhere were in their pay, thus allowing a growing contempt for criminality that they knew was unlikely to face punishment.Once he’d seen off hostile Jean-Claude (Spiral’s Grégory Fitoussi) with a switchblade (not that much “calmer and more peaceful”, then), Tommy had a sit-down with newly moustachioed Michael and his Boston-Irish mobster allies. Once again, the ambitious cousin’s outsider status to the Shelbys was reflected sartorially: fedoras and spivvy suits rather than flat caps and traditional tailoring. Like a frontman introducing the band, writer Steven Knight ensured this legacy tour gave much-loved characters their moment in the spotlight. Not only did “Uncle” Charlie come good. So did Johnny Dogs and Isiah. Bravo to director Anthony Byrne who heroically helmed the show’s last 12 episodes under testing circumstances. He ended on a humdinger, full of operatic crescendoes and handsome cinematography.
