Peaky Blinders

[Manter]

It's on BBC i-player.

iplayer is my friend...

That felt like the final episode to me. Was it not? Tied things up nicely.

Nah, next Thursday. I'm guessing Tommy will find out about Grace.

 

[Onket]

Nah, next Thursday. I'm guessing Tommy will find out about Grace.

And get his brother in law out of prison.

Disappointing that this took 3 episodes to get going and new dodgy accents still keep popping up in the 5th episode.

If I had better things to do I wouldn't have gone out of my way to make sure I saw this.

I've very much enjoyed Peaky Blinders so far, looking forward to the last episode next week. (The hair cuts look great too!)

Apparently the haircuts are catching on, according to some fashion mag I accidentally saw earlier this week.

Mini chieftain has a milder version of this kind of haircut, according to his mates it's "Sick"

So the second series will be set three years later with lots of coke floating about, and the third series during the depression.

all the guns are accounted for bar one

Sam Niel says he has one final detail to tidy up

Commie husband is still in jail

few last bits to wrap up I think

yeh depression often comes after taking loads of coke

Guardian! I linked to it upthread. At Onket is apparently a fashion pioneer before his time- who knew?

 

[DotCommunist]

I thought his face scars were make up for SoA but clearly he really has had a knife took to his face at some point. Bet thats an interesting actors bio

a likely story

 

[Manter]

And before someone picks me up on it, I just realised my last post contained a tautology. Apologies internet pedants, I am very ashamed of myself.

Chelsea smile. Or in his case Glasgow smile... Got mugged after a DJing session or something iirc.

Yep. Left for dead, google says.

the other thing is i'm sure i've seen someone brandishing a luger in the series and they certainly weren't about in the early 1920s.

Tommy still doesn't know about Grace.

Lugers were first manufactured in 1900, and widely used by the German army during WW1.

 

[Kaka Tim]

I have got more into this. Despite its flaws it is ambitious, original and beautifully filmed. There also some great performances - kieran murphy, the IRA fella, Father Selby - and top writing.

However Grace is a let down. This is a woman who is prepared to go undercover with a murderous gang and shoot IRA men in order to avenge her dead dad - which suggests an extraordinary amount of cold blooded determination and drive. But the actor is just doing pretty and vulnerable. Think what someone like a young miranda richardson would have done with the rolet (i.e. the ruthless, hard as nails IRA women she plays in the Crying Game).

Anyway - enough griping, I'm willing to overlook its flaws and looking forward to the final part. I guess Sam Neil will reveal all about Grace to Tommy and heartbreak and bloody mayhem will ensue.

yes they were. Dublin Lord Mayor Ben Briscoe smuggled bloody thousands out of germany in 1920

 

[Casually Red]

yeh i think it's been pretty good and has worked much better - in general - than i'd at first expected. but 'boys of the old brigade' was not written for many years after the events depicted in peaky blinders so it was something of a surprise to see yer man singing it in the pub.

especially because the series is set around 1920, and the song is about an old IRA guy decades later reminiscing about the IRA back in 1920. So it would have been the boys of the new brigade had it been at all accurate .

how they can sing a song and not actually listen to the words of it is a bit strange

quite right

I thought she might have shot them because they might have recognised her but I don't that's what they were getting at.

That fact that Shelby isn't the remote bit suspicious about her is ruining it for me. New Irish copper turns up; new Irish barmaid turns up, then she turns out to be a prod, then she has a phone line installed when they have no one to call.

one gun unaccounted for, and probably not a pistol as they have them, something heavier.

Lead peaky's insistence that Billy Kimber and his boys are going to be taken out

Bloodbath on the books imo.
