Fantastic Carl keep up the good Work

[@heytheregeorgeygirl]

I notice that you call your mother "mom", I do too and we are from Birmingham. I just wondered where mom comes from when the majority of people call their mothers "mum"?

Fascinating, Thanks Dr Carl. I used to love listening to you on WM. Always interested to learn more of one of my family, Percy Shurmer

Tommy Shelby is fictitious.... The top boy in real life in those days was a man called Billy Kimber from Summer lane Aston he moved on To London and was strangely shot dead in peaky blinders.... he died in the forty's in Devon was probably in is sixties pity they couldn't make a series about him

Dont matter who it is.If they're from Birmingham and famous, Carl Chinn will say he's related to them !

[@iperson4800]

I the peaky blinderd were documented more. Who knows maybe they lasted a lot longer than documented

[@Blossom1948]

Imagin being a descendant of the peaky blinders

[@davidwallace9695]

A fascinating piece of background from Carl Chinn. Thanks to him. - It occurs to me to wonder about the popularity of football, since Aston Villa FC was founded in 1874 and Birmingham City (Small Heath Alliance at first) in 1875. Prof Chinn deals with boxing and Tommy Shelby has business in horse racing, so was football too poorly funded in those days to attract the business interests of Shelby & co.? - It certainly would't be today. = Whatever, Peaky Blinders is the best BBC tv serial in a long time. I can't wait for series 5. (Nick Cave's Red Right Hand is just perfect as intro music).
