Peaky Blinders	comment	Peaky Blinders is a BBC Period Criminal Procedural series which began in 2013. Set in post-World War I Birmingham, it centres around the Irish Traveller-Romani Shelby family, whose men have returned from the Great War and begun to build up their street gang into a criminal empire. The street gang is known as the Peaky Blinders, and their hats... are their hats. Peaky Blinders stars Cillian Murphy as new kingpin Tommy Shelby. The supporting cast includes Helen McCrory as Shelby matriarch Aunt Polly, Sam Neill as CI Campbell and Tom Hardy as Jewish gangster Alfie Solomons.The show has aired five seasons on both BBC and Netflix.

After the show temporarily went on hiatus due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, it was announced in January 2021 that production had restarted on a sixth season and that it will be the last season of the show, though Knight also revealed in the same update that "the story will continue in another form".After the final season had been released in Februrary 2022, Knight revealed that in in lieu of a seventh season, the production team is instead working on a Peaky Blinders film, which is going to offer a more definite conclusion to the story of the Shelbys. Though there is no production date as of this writing, Knight have stated that the film is planned for a 2024 release.A Prequel puzzle-adventure videogame, Peaky Blinders Mastermind, was released on 20 Aug, 2020.Just Games released Peaky Blinders: Under New Management in 2019 and Steamforged Games released Peaky Blinders: Faster than Truth bluffing Card Game.

Peaky Blinders / int_101500e	type	Beneath Notice
Peaky Blinders / int_101500e	comment	Beneath Notice: Features heavily in season 5. Micky the Garrison barman hears everything the Peaky Blinders discuss in the Garrison, and passes it on to others â€” those others being closely connected to Oswald Mosley and Jimmy Mc Cavern, if not the two themselves. This causes the deaths of Bonnie Gold and Ben Younger, and sets up an ambush by the Titanic. However, they eventually figure out it's him and kill him for it.

Peaky Blinders / int_10dcbe05	type	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other
Peaky Blinders / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: A familial example is Tommy and Ada. Ada may resent her brother, hate his vendetta against her husband, and want to cut off all contact with the Shelbys, but when it comes down to it, Ada forgives Tommy for the problems with Freddie and later allows him to frequently stay in her home in London. Happens with Tommy and Polly in season four. While Polly refuses to forgive Tommy, at first, Michael convinces her that she and Tommy are the only thing keeping the family safe and together. Cemented in 4.05 when it's revealed that Polly's betrayal of Tommy to Luca Changretta was planned by her and Tommy all along. Subverted in Season 5, as Polly reveals that if she has to choose between Tommy and Michael, she will always choose Michael, and leaves the Peaky Blinders.

Peaky Blinders / int_120a6a29	type	ArtisticLicenceHistory
Peaky Blinders / int_120a6a29	comment	Artistic Licence â€“ History: The Peaky Blinders were in reality a youth street gang that had petered out by the early 20th century, rather than a post-World War I, family-run organized criminal empire. The show seems to present the idea that members of the street gang grew up and built a crime family while carrying on the spirit of the gang. It's mentioned that Tommy and several other British officers served in the Battle of Verdun. Verdun was a battle between the French and the Germans. It would have been extremely unlikely for Tommy to have served there. There was a real Billy Kimber, but he died peacefully in 1942, not â€” as depicted in the show â€” in a 1919 gunfight. He also had a long-running feud with the Sabini Gang â€” which he lost â€” while in the show, the two organizations never interact. In 1929, Tommy meets Oswald Mosley, who tries to recruit Tommy for his soon-to-be-created British Union of Fascists. At that time, Mosley was still a prominent Labour MP and did not support fascism. Mosley founded the New Party in March 1931 and started to openly embrace fascism after the October 1931 election. The BUF was founded in 1932. In the show Mosley tells Tommy about already having met Mussolini, but in real life Mosley first met Mussolini in 1931. In Season 6, Episode 6, which takes place during 1934, Mosley and Diana invite Tommy to their wedding in Berlin. The wedding takes place off-camera and it is reported in a newspaper. In reality, Oswald and Diana Mosley were not married until 1936, and their marriage was kept secret for several years.

In this case it's partly Tommy's fault, as he arranged for Lizzie to act as bait to isolate the Field Marshal on the express promise that he would turn up before anything happened. He's late. Campbell performs rape by coercion, forcing Polly to have sex with him in exchange for releasing Michael from prison. It's also implied that Michael was raped in prison. Father Hughes molested Michael when he was a child.

Peaky Blinders / int_1439161f	comment	Heroic BSoD: If you can call any of the characters "heroic": Grace, who gets drunk and then sick with guilt after she kills the IRA member outside the Black Swan. An interesting case because she appears not to care when speaking to Campbell later, even implying it was standard operating procedure when they were in Belfast. Tommy, upon finding out that it was Grace who told the police (and by extension, Kimber) exactly when the Peaky Blinders were planning on attacking Kimber. All he can do is stare unseeing while Polly tells him she'll take care of Grace, because if he does, he might kill her. Polly undergoes a lengthy one in 2.01 and 2.02, becoming ever more guilt-ridden and desperate to find her children. The reveal from a Romani woman that her daughter is likely dead sends her into a screaming, grief-stricken BSOD. She goes into another, less angry and more completely shocked version when Tommy buys her a house of her own and promises to find her children. Hits a third in 3.06, after she learns that Tommy thinks Reuben sold them out by plying her with wine, and that Michael's very likely about to commit his first murder. She slashes up Reuben's painting with a knife, screaming and crying. Tommy has his biggest to date in 3.06, when Hughes and the Economic League kidnap his son Charles from a fundraiser and hold him hostage to ensure that Tommy will blow up the Russian train and steal the white Russians' money as planned. Scratch that, his biggest BSOD comes in 5.06, after the assassination attempt fails spectacularly, as his friends Barney and Aberama are killed, Tommy is faced with the prospect of the man who he finally can't beat, and the hallucination of Grace urges him to leave everything behind and commit suicide. The last shot of Season 5 is Tommy screaming with a creepy face when he's about to blow his trigger.

That nearly goes out the window in 3.03, when an increasingly deranged Tommy seeks recompense from Vincente Changretta for ordering the botched hit that killed Grace. He threatens to cut out Changretta's tongue, his balls, his ears, and decides to go for the eyes first when Arthur shoots the man rather than watch Tommy torture him.

Peaky Blinders / int_169d22e6	comment	Villain Team-Up: Tommy pulls this on three separate occasions in the first series. First he cuts a deal with Campbell—he and the Peaky Blinders will find the guns from the BSA robbery, quell the unionizing and run Freddie Thorne out of Birmingham, if Campbell turns a blind eye to Tommy's gambling operations. Second, he proposes, much more politely than he did to Campbell, to Billy Kimber that he and the Peaky Blinders be allowed to fix races and run security on Kimber's behalf, taking over from the Lee family. And then he arranges a marriage between his brother and a Lee girl, forging an alliance with the Lees to take down Kimber. Later seasons make a habit of this. Tommy is constantly, and sometimes literally, in bed with people who will end up being his enemies.

They share a stag hunt in his memory, but decide the name will die with him and they will forget all about him. Tommy reminds Polly in 4.02 that his mother used to be just like Polly's been acting, addicted to pills and whiskey, seeing ghosts and holding seances, neglecting her kids.

He also lets her get a few good smacks in when she first learns about the botched BSA robbery. Arthur Jr. comments that Polly's close to giving Tommy "a good hiding" in the aftermath of the Freddie Thorne incident.

Peaky Blinders / int_21e5b9c7	type	Failed a Spot Check
Peaky Blinders / int_21e5b9c7	comment	Failed a Spot Check: The IRA hitmen sent to Birmingham in revenge for the killing of Ryan. They corner Tommy in the Garrison and are about to execute him—shame they didn't check the back room or pay more attention to pub employees. Tommy nearly falls victim to this in 2.03, when the Sabini assassin nearly shoots him. Luckily for him, Arthur and John are quicker on the draw and take care of the problem. In 3.02, an Italian assassin somehow gets into the Shelby Foundation fundraising dinner, shooting Grace instead of Tommy. As Luca Changretta points out, the security around Tommy's office is laughably poor. A man being hunted by the Mafia just lets pretty much anyone with a plausible story walk into his place of business. Thankfully, Luca just wants to gloat rather than shoot Tommy where he stands. Luca falls prey to this himself later on however - if you're going to ask a Jewish gangster to smuggle assassins into a boxing match as ringside seconds, it isn't enough that they be circumcised - they have to know how to look after the boxer in between rounds. Arthur picks up on this, and his solo investigation of his suspicions sets up the final episode's plot.

Peaky Blinders / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: A literal gun is the derringer that Campbell gives Grace in 1.02. She places it in her purse, and nearly uses it in 1.03 when Billy Kimber attempts to rape her. The gun comes back again in 1.06, when Grace pulls it on Polly in the Garrison. It finally goes off spectacularly in 2.01: Grace shot Campbell that night at the train station, through her purse. The need to fake Danny's death to appease the Italian mob served more purposes than getting Tommy eyes and ears in London and avoiding the death of a mostly-innocent man. It turns out that the Peaky Blinders have used Danny's grave to stash the stolen BSA guns. Polly threatens to shoot Tommy for not telling her where her son is, but actually does shoot Campbell after he rapes her and interrogates Michael. The veritable slew of people who point guns at Thomas Shelby in season two—the IRA, Campbell, Sabini, Alfie, Polly, Ada, Lizzieâ€¦ all culminating in 2.06, when the Red Right Hand are about to shoot Tommy in a field and bury him in a pauper's grave, but a double-agent working with Churchill turns on the others and saves Tommy's life. A huge one in the series finale, reappearing after 6 seasons: as Tommy prepares to kill himself, he loads a bullet with his name engraved on it. It's implied that this is the same one sent by the Lee family all the way back in the second ever episode, at the beginning of his first big scheme. Ultimately, it's not fired

After fighting his way back to his feet, Tommy headbutts Byrne and begins smashing a spittoon into his head, over and over. Arthur Senior gives two to Arthur Junior over the course of 1.05. The second is significantly more humiliating than the first. Tommy gets one from Darby Sabini and his goons due to his London expansion. The Sabini gang beats him bloody, rips out one of his teeth, and cuts his cheek. Arthur can't stop from doling them out when something sets him off. John beats the crap out of Changretta Junior for trying to date Lizzie. John and Arthur go into a frenzy on an assassin who fatally shot Grace while aiming for Tommy. Tommy gets one from some ex-soldiers during a botched assassination attempt on Father Hughes. They crack his skull, hospitalizing him for months.

All we know is that there was a gunshot. This was all wrapped up in season 2, however. Season Five has a pretty significant one in Tommy hallucinating Grace's ghost, who lures him into suicide. We see him stick a gun to his head and hear a gunshot, but the screen goes to black. Season Six in turn quickly reveals that he survived unharmed, a wary Arthur having discretely unloaded the gun beforehand.

Peaky Blinders / int_2ac010e3	comment	Artistic Licence â€“ Linguistics: The creators have made a mess of Russian names in Season 3. "Petrovich" and "Petrovna" are not Russian last names. Neither are they first names. These are patronymics (meaning "son of Peter" and "daughter of Peter") and are not used on their own, only after a first name. ("Tatiana Petrovna" is correct but it's not her full name: the full name would be "Tatiana Petrovna Romanova".) What Tommy reads in a book about Russian aristocrats is utter nonsense: no way a Russian person can be named "Petrovich Romanov, Leon". The correct name order would be "Romanov, Leon Petrovich" or "Leon Petrovich Romanov". The situation is made more confusing by the fact that the three family members, Leon, Izabella and Tatiana, all share the same patronymic but are not siblings. Why would their fathers be all named Peter?

The only reference to Margate is the last known location of Alfie Solomons - who, as it turns out, is alive. The book with the Hebrew script on it adds further foreshadowing before Alfie's voice is actually heard. In 6.03, Ada mentions Gypsy tribes such as the Lees and the Barwells. The Barwells have never been mentioned before. Sure enough, it turns out that the Barwells have cursed Tommy's daughter Ruby for allegedly causing the death of one of their children, through a cursed sapphire that he told them not to take. And by the end of the episode, Ruby dies. Lizzie sitting in the hospital lobby - instead of by her daughter's bedside - also gives away what is about to happen. In 6.04, Tommy is giving his daughter, Ruby, a gypsy funeral with a burning carriage. He mentions that the carriage would have been gold, but he had learned that gold doesn't work. Shortly after, he solves a problem with lead instead - shooting the Barwells, who cursed his daughter.

Peaky Blinders / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: Many of Tommy's plots require his enemies to behave a certain way. Tommy assumes that his alliances with Billy Kimber (through business) and the Lees (through marriage, plus a Bait-and-Switch) won't fall apart before he and his gang can carry out Black Star Day. Grace nearly throws a spanner into the works, but the plan still comes off. Tommy assumes before meeting Alfie Solomon that his second man will be forced to wait outside, that Alfie's assistant will allow him to tie his shoes out of sight, and that Alfie will heed his empty threats. Tommy assumes at Epsom that Lizzie will be willing and able to seduce the Field Marshal. He actually gets chewed out on this one. Tommy assumes that the Russians will allow Alfie into the cellar along with Tommy so that they can case the jewels, the layout, and the likely location of the vault. Tommy assumes Luca Changretta will not suspect him of cutting deals with other American gangsters, and that Luca will want to gloat over his "victory" rather than wiping the Shelbys out immediately after they sign the business over to the Changrettas. Polly gets the chance to pull off one of these in season four. She assumes Luca will be blinded by their prior relationship and not question her motivation in "selling out" Tommy. Her plan also assumes that Luca will accept her proposition for the time and place of the setup. Tommy fails at one of these for the first time in season five. He assumes that Oswald Mosley will trust him enough to attend the fascist rally, and that Alfie's men will provide enough chaos to cover the assassination. He also assumes that Aberama and Arthur will be able to provide cover for Barney. A third party takes out Barney and Aberama â€” Arthur barely escaping with his life â€” and Mosley remains alive. In 6.06, Tommy correctly assumes that the Boston gang will plant a bomb in his car. He has Johnny Dogs switch the bomb to their car, blowing them all up. Also, he knows Billy Grade is the traitor, so has Billy set up with knowledge that Arthur will be at the garrison only with his wife. There is no wife, but there is Arthur, Charlie, Jeremiah and a second preacher to deal with Captain Swing and the IRA.

Peaky Blinders / int_445bc425	comment	Grey-and-Grey Morality: The Peaky Blinders are Neighborhood-Friendly Gangsters, while Campbell is a brutal Knight Templar law enforcement officer with serious sexual problems. Neither is totally right or totally wrong. Averted in season 2, when Campbell becomes a much worse person. Downplayed with Darby Sabini. While certainly an unpleasant and frankly creepy character, he's not that much worse than Tommy. Pretty much the entire feud with the Changrettas is consistently the Shelbys' fault. In season 1, the Changrettas want to kill Danny Whizzbang because he, in a PTSD-induced frenzy, kills a shopkeeper under their protection, and Tommy is only able to appease them by faking Danny's death. Then in season 3, they pick a fight with Angel Changretta, mostly because Tommy and John are both jealous of his involvement with Lizzie, and it results in Angel's death, leading to a long chain of revenge killings between the two families. Even at the height of the vendetta, and at a moment when he holds the upper hand, Luca Changretta pledges not to target any of the Shelby children. Notably, it's Tommy who breaks the terms set by involving the police, while Luca, though undeniably pretty ruthless, honours the terms.

Unfortunately, Campbell immediately deduces this and really doesn't take Grace's rejection well. After he sees her and Thomas dancing together, Campbell writes her a letter basically telling her she's a whore and that her late father would be ashamed of her.

Peaky Blinders / int_716c0b1b	comment	And the Adventure Continues: The series ends with Tommy essentially tying up loose ends, squaring debts, and investing the Blinders' fortune to make sure what remains of the Shelby family have enough to live comfortably, before preparing to kill himself to keep from dying a slow, painful death at the hands of cancer. However, just before he pulls the trigger, he has an epiphany and realizes that his diagnosis was faked by his personal doctor (at the behest of Mosby), who he promptly tracks down and prepares to kill. Ultimately, however, he realizes that, after everything, he is finally at peace and spares the doctor, before riding away to parts unknown.

Peaky Blinders / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball: Both John and Tommy carry it in 3.02: John antagonizes the Changrettas, slicing up Angel Changretta for dating Lizzie, when he knows the Italians are a threat, and he's been warned by both Arthur and Polly to either apologize or compromise, and Tommy ignores Hughes' death threat under Charles' pillow and has very little security at the opening gala, allowing an assassin the opportunity to slip in, attempt to kill him, miss, and kill Grace. Without those two actions, Grace wouldn't have died. In 3.06. Tommy's failure to immediately recognize Alfie as the traitor truly beggars belief. After Charlie is kidnapped by the Economic League, Father Hughes demands the entire take from the vault robbery and the Russians' valuable FabergÃ© egg as ransom. Tommy then viciously blames his family for the betrayal, claiming that he hadn't told anyone else about the FabergÃ© egg, creating a rift between them and setting up the events of the end of the episode. However, Tommy brought Alfie Solomons into the vault, where Alfie clearly saw the FabergÃ© egg and coveted the treasure in general. Tommy failing to immediately recognize Alfie as the turncoat is fairly ridiculous - Alfie is notoriously volatile, essentially told Arthur outright in an earlier episode that he'd do absolutely anything for business, and, oh yeah, he'd betrayed the Shelbys before in a way that could have lead to them all being killed or imprisoned. Realistically, Alfie should have been his first and only suspect.

In London: The Shelbys reach out to the Jews to ally against the Italians and get a foothold in London. Then the Jews and the Italians reconcile and unite against the Shelbys, but the Jews make a new deal with the Shelbys and double-cross the Italians. The Jews continue to support the Shelbys until Alfie is bribed by the Economic League and then double-cross Tommy, and again when Alfie is bribed by Luca Changretta to help with the attempted hit on Arthur. Finally, enough is enough, and Tommy kills Alfie himself. Except it turns out Alfie is Not Quite Dead and in the next season, they're friends again. For now.

The first is directed to Polly, Ada, Linda and Arthur, and John and Esme, as he is convinced one of them has betrayed him and gotten Charles taken by the Economic League. He's wrong, but he viciously tears each one of them apart, twisting their actions into possible motives. Polly gets the brunt of it, as he nearly convinces her that Reuben's been using her, getting her drunk and flattering her in order to hurt the Shelbys, because after all, what could a rich, normal man like Reuben ever see in someone like Polly?

It gets the entire Courts threatened and some people rounded up by Campbell, and they think you're responsible. Polly, maybe you might have considered that giving up the Bolshevik leader to Campbell in exchange for Freddie and Ada's safety wouldn't do any good if the Bolshevik can't actually give the police any information? You've just condemned a mostly innocent man to death. Great, Tommy, tell the mole in your organization precisely where you hid the BSA guns, what you do with all the contraband you import, where the Bolshevik renegade is hiding, and when you're going to attack Kimber's organization. Granted, Arthur doesn't precisely help either, but it's really Tommy's fault for being so smitten by Grace he tells her everything. Polly, we realize that you're feeling incredible guilt over your criminal lifestyle, but you've just confessed to murdering a policeman, as well as to planning the murder of a priest, to an ally of one of the most dangerous conspiracies that is headed by the same priest you're about to kill. To be fair, Polly has no idea how far the Economic League's reach is, and as a Catholic, she believes the confessional is a sacred, inviolate space. Tommy getting his skull cracked was the direct result of Polly's drunken, guilt-ridden confession. Excellent, Finn, let slip to the man you and your family have forced to help you fix football matches and torn away from his singing career that you're planning to assassinate a famous politician.

Polly pulling a gun on John, shouting at him for leaving it around the shop for Finn to play with, and pistol-whipping him to remind him to be more careful. She's the authority in the family and will discipline the boys no matter how old they are. Aberama Gold gets a pretty badass one in 4.02, crashing John's funeral to wipe out two Changretta assassins.

Peaky Blinders / int_8387bb18	comment	Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Averted multiple times. In season one, Ada wants to keep her child because she loves Freddie, not because she thinks abortion is wrong. Polly tells her to get the abortion, because it's more shameful to live as a "whore", with a "bastard child", and that when Ada's older, she'll thank her. Ada decides to go through with it, but at the train station, they meet a returning Freddie, who proposes to Ada and declares they're staying in Birmingham. It's revealed in 1.02 that when Polly was sixteen, she got pregnant and made the mistake of keeping her child too long, too frightened to tell anyone. Eventually she performed an abortion on herself, nearly dying in the process. In season three, Michael gets Charlotte, his fling from the night of Tommy's wedding, pregnant. Since she's already engaged to another man, a British cavalry officer, she asks him to find her someone to "take care of it". Arthur and John provide Michael with a woman who's performed abortions for them in the past, and Michael callously leaves a frightened Charlotte with the woman. In season five, Ada is pregnant again, and Polly reminds her of the conversation they had in 1.02. She offers once again to procure Ada the abortion, but Ada decides she doesn't care what they call her and continues with the pregnancy.

In Season 5, there's an unknown fourth party, which foils Mosley's assassination attempt. Turns out it's the IRA, who wish for Mosley to remain alive for their own purposes (which, being a Historical Domain Character and the IRA's own sordid relationship with fascism, is understandable).).

Sinister Minister Father Hughes is a child molester—and therefore set up as probably the most evil enemy the Shelbys have yet faced (with the possible exception of Moseley a few seasons later), in contrast with mere gangsters like Kimber or the Changrettas.

By the second season, he's barely concealing his vicious and ruthless nature. Michael keeps taking one per season. In season two, he starts off as a curious and slightly naive kid new to the world of organized crime. In season three, he's a green, but competent consigliere to Tommy, but he's becoming more impulsive and angry, eventually killing Father Hughes for his crimes. In season four, he's an Addled Addict, haunted by his near-death experiences and lashing out at everyone. In season five, he's become The Starscream to Tommy, actively plotting a hostile takeover of the business. In season six, he has officially broken with the Shelby family and joined Jack Nelson's pro-Fascist outfit.

The Shelbys are contracted to kill a blackmailing pimp who specializes in providing children to pedophiles. Ada is upset that they are committing murder-for-hire, but everyone else considers it a community service.

As a compliment to Tommy, Churchill tells him that despite their vastly different backgrounds and histories, they are very similar men.

Harry, the barman at the Garrison, in 1.05, when he stands up to Campbell and the police raid. Harry comes across as mild-mannered, likeable, most of the time, but when Campbell orders him to give up Tommy, Harry lies bold facedly to Campbell and says he doesn't know where Tommy is. He does give Tommy up when Campbell puts a gun to his head, but the initial gesture of defiance was pretty cool. In the 1.06, he also shows a lot of courage in standing up to Tommy. Ada Shelby and her baby carriage in 1.06, who march right into the middle of an all-out gun battle between the Peaky Blinders and Kimber's men and give them a very stern talking-to, daring them to hurt her. Arthur seems to have combined this and Took a Level in Jerkass in season 2. He's in fighting shape, apparently becoming a more vicious and skilled boxer than he was before, but if he's not either medicated or kept occupied, he tends to beat anyone in his way to within an inch of their lives.

Maybe you'll have to put a bullet in mine someday." As of the 1.03, Tommy's two for two with bullets, faking Danny's death, but shooting him in the head nonetheless, and having to put down the white horse he bought from the Lees. Seasons two and five have further Tommy + horse + shooting metaphors. Before singing for Tommy in the Garrison, Grace tells him flirtatiously "I'll break your heart.". Tommy proclaims it's already broken, but by 1.06, Grace really does break his heart with her betrayal. Tommy tells Campbell in 2.02 that he imagines "being shot by a woman hurts the same as being shot by a man". He's referring to Grace, but by 2.06, Campbell will be fatally shot, this time by Polly. When Tommy goes to meet Alfie Solomons - not dead after all - in 5.06, and reveals he is going to have Oswald Mosley shot, Alfie hopes he does a better job on Mosley than he did on Alfie himself. Tommy does not. In 6.06, Tommy starts speaking in Romani about "those who know the truth," and Billy and Finn are both noted to have never picked up the lingo. It's later revealed that Finn is in league with Billy against his family, and Tommy knew about it.

Peaky Blinders / int_9fbe06a5	comment	Badass in a Nice Suit: All of the Shelby brothers dress very nicely. However, they stick to their roots and continue wearing razor-bladed flat caps with their suits instead of more formal bowlers. A sign that Tommy's gone completely legit in season 4 is wearing a bowler, with no flat cap in sight. It's a further sign that he's going back to his razor-gang roots in season 5 when the flat cap comes back. Luca Changretta prides himself on his nice Italian suits, and even brags about being better-dressed than Tommy. Brilliant Chang's nice suits and big fur coats are based on those worn by the real guy.

In season four, he's an Addled Addict, haunted by his near-death experiences and lashing out at everyone. In season five, he's become The Starscream to Tommy, actively plotting a hostile takeover of the business.

Peaky Blinders / int_a0db7803	comment	It's Personal: Campbell admits to Moss that his mission in Birmingham has become this. Specifically, when Campbell discovers that Grace has fallen in love with Tommy he's pissed. When he realizes that Tommy is spending the night at Grace's house and presumably sleeping with her he goes from pursuing Tommy as a criminal to pursuing him as a romantic rival. The real kicker is that Tommy knows it, too. 2.05 sees Tommy taking Grace to meet Charlie Chaplin as a kind of seduction or attempt to mend the rift between them, distracting her long enough for him to ring up Campbell and tell him that he'll be returning home with a beautiful woman and who on Earth does he think it could be? Tommy's desire to kill Father Hughes is understandable: the man's a pedophile who threatens Tommy's wife and child and is responsible for torturing him extensively. Michael's desire to kill him is even more understandable: Michael was one of Hughes's victims.

The Shelbys alternately exploit and shun their connection to the Romani, in contrast with the Lee family, who live in caravans and can all speak Romani and do so among themselves. On the other hand, all the other characters consistently refer to the Shelbys as "Gypsies," even though they are at least as Irish as they are Romani, and sometimes even by slurs more often associated with Irish Travellers. And of course, both the Shelbys and the Lees are crime families.

In spite of being a wild man, Arthur finds the wild jazz music of London to be "racket" and hates it. Veterans regularly tell Campbell to his face that he's less of a man because he did not serve in the Great War. In multiple scenes, the 11-year-old Finn is shown drinking beer with his family. Some bars will refuse service to a black man, and one bar patron refuses to drink in the same bar as a black man. Pregnant women are shown drinking, smoking, and (in Esme's case) doing cocaine. A gay reporter is blackmailed by multiple people in season five, and his murder ultimately is covered up. The tensions between the various ethnic gangs often range into bigotry. The Shelbys are often the targets of antiziganist slurs, and one very funny scene has Alfie complaining about all the mean antisemitic comments that Sabini has made over the years - even though he himself unreservedly calls Sabini a "wop".

Tommy promptly informs the Lord what he really thinks of him and that Tommy still has a copy of the pictures to release to the public if he does not get the full payment. In the pilot episode Danny collapses into a chair in front of a restaurant sobbing and talking to himself. The restaurant owner decides it would be a good idea to pull a knife on Danny, who is clearly in better physical shape and is clearly mentally unwell. It goes about as well for the restauranteur as can be expected, as Danny freaks out and stabs the man with his own knife.

Explored further with Michael in season two—does the Shelby blood win out when you've been raised by a very different kind of family? In this case, yes. It really does. In season four, Polly and Tommy come to the conclusion that the Shelbys are cursed with mental illness at times of peace. Pollyâ€™s son grew up in an apparently pristine rural community, completely sheltered from the violence that the Shelbys deal in. His promise to suicide bomb the townâ€™s windmill affirms Tommyâ€™s certainty that the kid is just like his mom. Season five reveals that suicide runs in the Shelby family. Their grandfather killed himself, and Charlie Strong finally comes clean to (an also-suicidal) Tommy about his mother, who threw herself into the canal, after a long period of depression.

Peaky Blinders / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Peaky Blinders / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: In the scene where Tommy fakes Danny's death, he quotes the Christina Rossetti poem "In the Bleak Midwinter". He quotes it again when facing (what he thinks is) his own death in the second series finale. It returns as one of the hymns at Tommy's wedding in 3.01. The opera that Campbell meets Grace at is Tosca. The first meeting between Campbell and Tommy taking place at a quiet tea shop is likely an homage to a similiar scene in Heat, where Robert de Niro's thief character and Al Pacino's cop character memorably meet for coffee in one scene. It's the only moment in the movie when they're both onscreen. In 2.06 Campbell employs a group of Ulster Volunteers known as the "Red Right Hand" in a nod to the theme song. Also counts as Fridge Brilliance when you realise that the heraldic symbol of Ulster (and the badge of the Ulster Volunteers) is a red right hand. Many to The Godfather. The Shelby siblings are nearly direct parallels to the Corleone siblings (hotheaded eldest brothers, doomed younger brothers, a second/third son in charge, a Mafia Princess sister), with Tommy Shelby and Michael Corleone sharing a military past and icy demeanour. There are also smaller shoutouts like Tommy's ex-fiance's name being "Geraci" and her untimely death serving as his Start of Darkness, the need for an authoritative consigliere (Polly and Tom Hagen), and long-lost sons of the family returning to cause trouble (Michael Grey and Vincent Corleone). Furthermore, Luca Changretta (played by Adrien Brody) speaks distractingly like Don Vito Corleone (played by Marlon Brando).

Peaky Blinders / int_c819533b	type	Rage Breaking Point
Peaky Blinders / int_c819533b	comment	Rage Breaking Point: Ada has two of these with Tommy. At John's wedding, a drunken Ada lays into Tommy for his manipulations of the family (arranging John's marriage, refusing to accept her own marriage, causing her and Freddie to go into hiding). The last straw for Ada with Tommy is Freddie's arrest on the night of John's wedding. She believes Tommy is responsible, and is refusing to see or speak with anyone else from the family as well. Polly hits a combination of this and a Despair Event Horizon in 2.02 when Tommy reveals the double-whammy that her stolen daughter is dead, but that her son is alive and although Tommy knows where to find him, he won't tell her. Tommy thinks he's protecting Polly by not telling her where Michael is, but all Polly can see is Tommy keeping her from the son who was taken away from her when he was six. She pulls a gun on him, presses it to his head, and demands he tell her, but Tommy reminds her if she shoots him, she'll never know. John hits his in 3.03, after Tommy's secretive, vengeful orders to shoot Mrs. Changretta and bring him Vincente Changretta to torture in retaliation for Grace's shooting. John is sick of being treated like a "tin soldier", told to "do this, John, do that, John, shoot your fucking teacher, John", and gets into a screaming match with Tommy over it.

Peaky Blinders / int_cb70651c	comment	Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It's possible the Lees put a curse on the white horse, or it's equally possible the horse was nearly lame when they sold it to Tommy. Whatever Tommy did to heal himself of that beating from the Sabinis, it involved a boat, gunpowder, alcohol, and possible Romani magic. Tatiana claims that the sapphire Tommy gave Grace has a Romani curse on it. Grace does get shot immediately after, but the assassin was gunning for Tommy. Tommy brings the jewel to a Romani woman, who realizes that Tommy wants her to say that it's cursed to relieve him of some responsibility for what happened. She says that it is cursed, which Tommy clearly doesn't actually believe. Polly's "second sight" is likely the result of her near-death experience and the pills she became addicted to in prison, but both she and Tommy swear parts of it are real. She's certainly able to intuit things about people - Aberama Gold's true intentions and Lizzie's pregnancy.

Peaky Blinders / int_d39e327f	comment	What the Hell, Hero?: Tommy Shelby in 2.06, where he arranges for ex-prostitute Lizzie to help him isolate Field Marshal Russell at the Epsom Derby, with the clear implication that she is supposed to seduce him in order to do so—despite the fact she has no desire to return to her former trade, and the fact Tommy has explicitly asked her not to in the past; she is not impressed by his promise that this is "the last time". Despite his assurances that he will show up before anything happens, Tommy is delayed, the Field Marshal tries to force himself on Lizzie and while Tommy does eventually turn up and kill him, Lizzie is left extremely traumatised by the experience and clearly regards the whole episode as a betrayal, her only words to him after he rescues her being "Fuck off". Tommy clearly took topping his asshole behaviour at Epsom as a challenge—the scene in 3.06 where he pays off his family, lectures them on how disgusting and how fruitless their social-climbing is, and caps it off by informing Arthur, John, Michael, and Polly of their arrests is an even bigger WTHH moment. Ultimately it takes the entire fourth season for him to win back their trust and forgiveness.

Peaky Blinders / int_d62dd556	comment	The Chessmaster: Tommy, who's playing the police, the Bolsheviks, the Lees, Billy Kimber, and his own family, all in pursuit of becoming a legitimate businessman. He adds the Italian and Jewish gangs of London, the IRA, and Churchill himself to the mix in season two, and in season three, takes a level in ambition by playing Russian aristocrats, Italian gangsters, and the Economic League (a group of wealthy, insanely powerful men—MP's, judges, and priests) as well. Campbell thinks he's one. The one big gamble he manipulates—pulling the police back from Small Heath to let the Peaky Blinders and Kimber's men annihilate each other—he comes out on the wrong side of due to Ada and Tommy, each in their own way, keeping the bloodshed to a minimum, and mostly everyone surviving. He takes a level in chessmastery in season 2, by pitting the anti-treaty IRA, Tommy, and Churchill against each other. The two things he doesn't count on are a double-agent in the Red Right Hand and Polly Shelby wanting vengeance. Oswald Mosley turns out to be at or surpassing Tommy's level in season five. Every time Tommy seems to one-up Mosley, he's swatted right back down by Mosley being a bigger bastard with more allies.

The government covered up the theft of the guns and Campbell has to recover them without the public finding out about it. When Tommy figures this out, he stages a public protest against the police's actions and brings a reporter to cover it. The government suppresses the article and Campbell is chastised for not being discreet enough. From then on, Campbell cannot act directly against the Peaky Blinders since he knows that Tommy will make the entire affair public in retaliation.

Tommy nearly commits this in 3.03 on Vincente Changretta, the man who ordered the botched hit on Tommy's life that killed Grace.

In season three, tensions arise between the Peaky Blinders, the Changretta family, the Whites supporting the exiled Russian aristocrats, the Soviets, and the Economic League/Oddfellows working against the Soviets and the Whites on behalf of the Crown. Season four has the Peaky Blinders versus the Changretta family and Alfie Solomons and his allies. In season five, Tommy tries to outmanoeuvre Oswald Mosley and the fascists while the Chinese contract the Peaky Blinders to move seven tons of heroin across England. In the middle are the Billy Boys from Glasgow and their leader Jimmy McCavern, who has ties to Mosley, but are plotting to wipe out the Peakys and steal the heroin.

Peaky Blinders / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward: In 1.06, Tommy name-drops the "Sabinis" and the "Solomons" as the only two gang families in England that are bigger than the Shelbys. Both of those gangs become major presences in the next season. In 1.02, Polly mentions the Marquis Pub as one of the pubs Campbell and his coppers knocked over and blamed on the Peaky Blinders. In 2.04, it's the Marquis that Michael and Isaiah go to and get into a barfight in, and which is torched by John and Arthur in retaliation. Tommy's general absence of faith in Freddie Thorne's labour organization cause makes a lot more sense after the revelations about his own history with the movement in series 4. In the very first episode, Tommy quotes the line "In the bleak midwinter" (the opening line of a poem of the same name by Christina Rossetti) with no particular explanation. The line comes up a few times throughout the show before we finally get the context on it in 4.02: Tommy's old military unit used to recite the poem whenever one of their number died.

While Tommy makes disparaging comments about Polly and Ada running the business now that he and the men are back from World War I, this might be more because he thinks he personally should be in charge rather than he thinks men in general should be. When his own sovereignty is not being challenged, he's respectful of Polly and Ada's abilities, and speaks to them in exactly the way he does to male members of the family, also treating female employees similarly to male ones. Tommy also appears to be well ahead of his time in his attitude to gay people; in Season 2, Ada offhandedly outs one of her housemates as gay to him while the man is standing right there, much to the man's dismay and fear (since homosexuality is a criminal offence at this time). Tommy politely introduces himself, says it's a pleasure to meet him, and shakes his hand. Tommy's not as forgiving to the gay reporter in Season 5, as he uses the fact to Blackmail him, and he's soon murdered.

So far, all of her attempts to sow dissent have failed, but she seems to be on a slow burn toward this. She was Put on a Bus in season 4, putting an end to this behaviour, for now.

Particularly Inspector Campbell, who seemingly rotates between genuine understanding and erratic threats, and Alfie Solomons, who betrays the Peaky Blinders/Tommy no less than three times.

Peaky Blinders / int_f5e59782	comment	A Real Man Is a Killer: Pretty much every character has disparaged Campbell for not serving in World War I, making him very defensive about it. One reason the Shelby brothers are so highly regarded is because all three eldest brothers are decorated war veterans. Michael is feeling the effects of this in season three. As the "legitimate" bookkeeper, but still a trusted member of the family, he knows about all the illegal goings-on, but is barred from participating and protected from any fallout. John and Arthur resent the way their younger cousin, who has never fired a gun in his life, is being groomed to be the new boss, and Michael hates being treated like a child. Not an issue after 3.06, when Michael kills Father John Hughes.

They could have easily killed Tommy but they instead demonstrate their power to get to him and the people he cares for anytime they want.

Peaky Blinders / int_f85354eb	comment	Attempted Rape: Happens to poor Grace when Tommy auctions her off to Billy Kimber as part of their Villain Team-Up, originally thinking Kimber's harmless and she'll be able to knee him in the nuts and get away. Kimber's much more dangerous than Tommy thinks, and after a last minute attack of conscience, Tommy gets her away from Kimber before either a rape or another shooting happens. Nearly happens to Ada, when Sabini's men attack her. It's unclear if anything actually does happen before Tommy's men show up to save her. Lizzie experiences this when Tommy uses her as a Honey Trap for Field Marshal Russell only to be delayed in getting there before things can go too far, finding Lizzie pinned down as Russell tries to rip her clothes off.
