A perfect scene that captures this is the season 2 finale, if I’m not mistaken where he is at the bar giving a toast and yells “who’s going to stop us?!” all triumphantly, but then sits down and sadly says to himself, “nobody.”
I love the show because it gives a glimpse into the PTSD struggle. Tommy even says "I can't tell you how I feel because they haven't invented a fucking word for it yet" that hit hard because at the time those who came back "shell shocked" were thought to be genetically inferior. 100 years later and we are finally starting to document and find treatment for PTSD in our returning troops.

Peaky Blinders is one of the best shows on television at the moment, it's consistently got better from season to season, from the Black Hand to Oswald Mosley and his black shirt Fascist political party, the historical references are pretty much spot on. I would definitely recommend that as many people as possible watch this show........
I beg to differ. You can't recognize Tom Hardy in Alfie Solomon's character. That's because he's so good at acting. Meanwhile, Mycroft in Enola Holmes is annoyingly similar to what Edward Mosley is portrayed in season 6
No it isn't. *The Garrison* in *Peaky Blinders* has never been filmed in a real pub. It has always been filmed in a purpose built set. In series 1 it was built at *Studio 81* in *Leeds.* And from series 2 onwards it's been in another unnamed studio which I suspect is the *Old Granada Studios* on *Quay Street* in *Manchester, Greater Manchester.*
As a born n bred Brummie, as great as this show is, I've become increasingly pissed off with people trying to do my accent back to me when they find out where I'm from and especially when they know my grandparents came from Small Heath.
Having famous actors in the show would be awesome and not too distracting if they're great actors. Adrien Brody was distracting for about 30 seconds until his portrayal completely over took his star studded appearance
@@clvnhrrs1214 and yet I see so many people complaining about what they think is an "over the top performance", and his "bad impression of Vito Corleone". I don't get it. Not at all
Fact 3 is partly true, there is a documentary set on the real ones. Apparently they tilted the PEAK of their caps to one side, this then covered the vision of one eye hence the term BLINDER. The series used the razor on the caps to make it more intimidating. It is said that they didnt actually do this and that they used belts to hit their enemies. The term razor gang comes from the Birmingham Boys, another infamous and very real gang that did indeed (In its early stages) use razors. Just a fun fact
In the 1890s blinders meant that you where a fighter and peaky meaning the hats they wore (which were fashionable at the time) giving the name Peaky Blinders
"GREETINGS MOTHER FACTORS-" that's usually where I remember who this guy is and click off the video to prevent myself from stabbing my ear drums out with an ice pick
Town Curmudgeon I cannot stand subtitles, distract me from what’s going on. Honestly after watching the show for awhile there’s hardly moments where I can’t understand.
I use subtitles for US films on a regular basis. These days it is incredibly difficult to hear what characters are saying over the action and music sound effects. There are millions of film lovers the world over whose hearing is failing - subtitles are the answer.
i wanted to watch a series with about 2/3 season out and i came across peaky blinders with 5 seasons out so i watch the trailer and liked what I saw so i start watching it i got so hooked to it i watch all 5 seasons in 8 days now i am angry with myself because I have to wait for season 6
Ayusha Suwal ooo same 3 days my friend told me about the show i watched the first episode and was like okay okay and after the second episode i was hooked
*Tommy's Factory offices Birmingham, Tommy's Westminster office Westminster, Winson Green Prison Birmingham, the Hospital Birmingham, the Midland Hotel and Bar Birmingham, the Inkberrow Hotel Stratford-upon-Avon, Liverpool Docks Liverpool* and another *Peaky Blinders* location which I haven't been able to spot in the show yet, are all within 2 miles of my house in *Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.* The *Cemetery Birmingham* (where they bury the guns etc) and the *Park Birmingham* (where Grace meets Inspector Campbell to tell him where the guns are buried) are just over 3 miles from my house in *Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.* The *Railway Station Birmingham,* the *Chinese Tailors and Brothel,* *Cheltenham Rasecourse* (where Tommy takes Grace to meet Billy Kimber), and the *Canal* (which usually featured in scenes with Freddie and Ada) are all within 14 miles North of my house in *Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.* There's many many more *Peaky Blinders* locations in other nearby *Yorkshire* towns and cities like *Leeds, Huddersfield, Skipton,* and *Ripon.*
For me, Peaky Blinders is a name for someone peaking over blinds (like the ones you put on your window?), a metaphore for how the Peaky Blinders are always watching.
I was thinking a spinoff concentrated on Tommy, Arthur and John from before and during the war and how the built the business to what it was when the first season started.
another fun fact could have been that arctic monkeys who are frequented on the soundtrack over the seasons also covered the song Red right hand yet their version was never used despite being the main theme of the program
@@101Facts neither can I lad, kind of ironic I found that Murphy plays an IRA man in The Wind That Shakes The Barley yet plays an Englishman who's anti Catholic in the show 😂😂
Hello from Ohio in America. Just got done binge watching Peaky Blinders. Loved it. The only problem I had was understanding the dialog sometimes because of the heavy accents. However, his series got better with each season. I rate this up there with The Vikings or the Mayans.
I remember when they were filming in the garrison, I lived nearby and then when I moved closer to grand central they started filming in my favourite place, Digbeth
Still today saying the sentence.. 'He had an absolute blinder!' is still quite common. Blinder meaning, good performance or good show. (in stoke anyways).
*"Fact 23"* which starts at 7:20 and *"Fact 27"* which starts at 8:24 in the video are partly *False!* You're correct that *Bradford, Manchester, Leeds* and *Liverpool* are used for filming. However *London* which is mentioned at 7:27 and 8:30 has never been used as a filming location in *Peaky Blinders.* Also those 48 sets which are mentioned at 8:37 were not built at a *BBC studio in Leeds.* They were built at *Studio 81 in Leeds* which isn't owned by the *BBC.* Other studios and facilities by companies like *Screen Yorkshire* in *Leeds* and *North Light Film Studios* in *Huddersfield* (which are also not owned by the BBC) were also used. The *City of Bradford* (the 7th biggest city in the UK and the world's first UNESCO City of Film) and the historic county of *Yorkshire* on the whole (mainly West Yorkshire) is used more for filming *Peaky Blinders* than any other town, city or county in the country. The cities and towns of *Birmingham, Dudley, Liverpool, Wirral, Southport, Manchester, Bolton, Stockport, Rochdale, Wigan, Macclesfield, Northwich, Ellesmere Port, Bakewell* etc and the counties of the *West Midlands, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Derbyshire* etc have nowhere near as many *Peaky Blinders* locations as *Bradford* or the other cities and towns of *West Yorkshire* do. *Yorkshire* being the main filming location was in the terms of the deal, that the *BBC* made with *Screen Yorkshire.* I suspect the only town or city which is on screen in *Peaky Blinders* more often than *Bradford, West Yorkshire* is *Dudley, West Midlands* as that's where the *Black Country Living Museum* is. However I'll find out for certain within the next month as I'll be going through each scene in each episode, and writing down the times the locations are on screen, and for what length. *Peaky Blinders Bradford Locations* include: 1 - *Tommy's Factory offices* are on *Hick Street, Little Germany Bradford.* 2 - *Tommy's Westminster office* is in the *Mayors office* (or the room opposite) in *Bradford City Hall.* 3 - *Winson Green Prison, Birmingham* is in *Bradford Police Museum* which is on the ground floor of *Bradford City Hall.* The courtyard (which is where the bins are normally kept) was used for the prison too. 4 - *Midland Hotel and Bar, Birmingham* is in the main entrance hall of *Bradford City Hall* (which can be seen in scenes involving Tommy, Lizzie, Polly, Luca etc), another room (which Tommy used to sleep with a prostitute), plus the entrance to the building itself (which can be seen in scenes involving Tommy, Ada and Gina). 5 - *Inkberrow Hotel, Statford-upon-Avon* (where the Mafia stay) is in *Bradford City Hall.* 6 - The *Hospital* (where Michael stays, and possibly Tommy and Aberama too) is in *Bradford City Hall.* 7 - The *Chinese Tailors and Brothel* is in *Dalton Mills, Keighley, Bradford.* 8 - The *Railway Station* is at *Keighley Railway Station, Keighley, Bradford.* 9 - The *Park* (where Inspector Campbell has a secret meeting with Grace about the guns) is at *Peel Park, Undercliffe, Bradford.* 10 - The *Cemetery* is at *Undercliffe Cemetery, Undercliffe, Bradford.* 11 - The *Canal* scenes (where Freddie and Ada had secret meetings, and got married) is the *Leeds and Liverpool Canal, Saltaire, Shipley, Bradford* next to *Salts Mill, Saltaire, Shipley, Bradford* 12 - A location I haven't been able to spot yet is somewhere in *The Bradford Club.* 13 - *Cheltenham Racecourse* (where Tommy takes Grace to meet Billy Kimber) is the *Winter Garden* room at *King's Hall and Winter Gardens, Ilkley, Bradford.* 14 - *Liverpool Docks* (where the mafia arrive) is in the *Midland Hotel, Bradford.* I'm almost certain I'll be able to spot at least one other unannounced *Bradford* location when I get around to comparing locations in the show one by one, with interior photos of buildings in *Bradford* which I know are used a lot for filming.
I’m from the Black County ( few miles from Birmingham) and to call someone a ‘blinder ‘ was just a polite alternative to ‘bugger ‘ In particular..a ‘cheeky blinder ‘..naughty blinder etc..
It sounds dumb, but I love the way Tommy walks.. men use to walk with authority and ownership. This hair cut was very popular in the forest workers, loggers etc, easy care. Love this series every actor excels in their craft, and the writers etc are incredible.

Really... it's not cause of brilliant writing a time right well bereft of it?
Mathew Hex And that. Naturally. But Cillian Murphy is definitely easy on the eyes.
Personally, I would not like to see more recognizable actors in the show. It takes you out of the story / world.

The Big house? Or the Crown?
The blackened street was filmed in Toxteth, St George’s Hall was used, as was the docks 👍
The real one it’s based on is still on Garrison Lane about 5 min walk from the blues ground

*"Fact 23"* which starts at 7:20 and *"Fact 27"* which starts at 8:24 in the video are partly *False!*
You're correct that *Bradford, Manchester, Leeds* and *Liverpool* are used for filming.
However *London* which is mentioned at 7:27 and 8:30 has never been used as a filming location in *Peaky Blinders.*
Also those 48 sets which are mentioned at 8:37 were not built at a *BBC studio in Leeds.*

The *City of Bradford* (the 7th biggest city in the UK and the world's first UNESCO City of Film) and the historic county of *Yorkshire* on the whole (mainly West Yorkshire) is used more for filming *Peaky Blinders* than any other town, city or county in the country.
The cities and towns of *Birmingham, Dudley, Liverpool, Wirral, Southport, Manchester, Bolton, Stockport, Rochdale, Wigan, Macclesfield, Northwich, Ellesmere Port, Bakewell* etc and the counties of the *West Midlands, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Derbyshire* etc have nowhere near as many *Peaky Blinders* locations as *Bradford* or the other cities and towns of *West Yorkshire* do.
*Yorkshire* being the main filming location was in the terms of the deal, that the *BBC* made with *Screen Yorkshire.*
I suspect the only town or city which is on screen in *Peaky Blinders* more often than *Bradford, West Yorkshire* is *Dudley, West Midlands* as that's where the *Black Country Living Museum* is. However I'll find out for certain within the next month as I'll be going through each scene in each episode, and writing down the times the locations are on screen, and for what length.
*Peaky Blinders Bradford Locations* include:
1 - *Tommy's Factory offices* are on *Hick Street, Little Germany Bradford.*
2 - *Tommy's Westminster office* is in the *Mayors office* (or the room opposite) in *Bradford City Hall.*
3 - *Winson Green Prison, Birmingham* is in *Bradford Police Museum* which is on the ground floor of *Bradford City Hall.* The courtyard (which is where the bins are normally kept) was used for the prison too.
4 - *Midland Hotel and Bar, Birmingham* is in the main entrance hall of *Bradford City Hall* (which can be seen in scenes involving Tommy, Lizzie, Polly, Luca etc), another room (which Tommy used to sleep with a prostitute), plus the entrance to the building itself (which can be seen in scenes involving Tommy, Ada and Gina).
5 - *Inkberrow Hotel, Statford-upon-Avon* (where the Mafia stay) is in *Bradford City Hall.*
6 - The *Hospital* (where Michael stays, and possibly Tommy and Aberama too) is in *Bradford City Hall.*
7 - The *Chinese Tailors and Brothel* is in *Dalton Mills, Keighley, Bradford.*
8 - The *Railway Station* is at *Keighley Railway Station, Keighley, Bradford.*
9 - The *Park* (where Inspector Campbell has a secret meeting with Grace about the guns) is at *Peel Park, Undercliffe, Bradford.*
10 - The *Cemetery* is at *Undercliffe Cemetery, Undercliffe, Bradford.*
11 - The *Canal* scenes (where Freddie and Ada had secret meetings, and got married) is the *Leeds and Liverpool Canal, Saltaire, Shipley, Bradford* next to *Salts Mill, Saltaire, Shipley, Bradford*
12 - A location I haven't been able to spot yet is somewhere in *The Bradford Club.*
13 - *Cheltenham Racecourse* (where Tommy takes Grace to meet Billy Kimber) is the *Winter Garden* room at *King's Hall and Winter Gardens, Ilkley, Bradford.*
14 - *Liverpool Docks* (where the mafia arrive) is in the *Midland Hotel, Bradford.*
I'm almost certain I'll be able to spot at least one other unannounced *Bradford* location when I get around to comparing locations in the show one by one, with interior photos of buildings in *Bradford* which I know are used a lot for filming.

Thanks for using the picture of my hometown Birmingham, Alabama most appreciated
One thing I learned from the show is that every other sentence starts out with RIGHT!

This hair cut was very popular in the forest workers, loggers etc, easy care. Love this series every actor excels in their craft, and the writers etc are incredible.
I am a Birmingham lad, born and raised and i approve of this video =)
