The Peaky Blinders cast on returning for season 5 | BFI Q&A

[@skygazer6898]

Helen was a fabulous actress, excellent in every role she played. Sorry for her loving family, it must hurt like hell to lose this gorgeous woman.

[@ipersmile316]

I'm here after finding out Helen McCrory passed away. I can't believe she's gone. Her roles are most certainly iconic and Peaky Blinders won't be the same without Polly. May she rest in peace. So heartbreaking 💔

[@satkin4529]

Arthur’s late for the fookin’ meeting again

Why is there no interviews with the Shelby family together 😭😭

[@sharonmullins1957]

I love Helen McCrory! She is as ballsy as her character. The strong women in this show are amazing. Cillian.......those eyes, those cheeks, WOW, oh, and his acting too. From The US, your series is on fire here! Best thing on Netflix!

Her Brummie accent is all over the place tho

[@sydneyshaw607]

[@MybabyboyIra]

Listening to Helen's answer on "what else can her character go through" question broke my heart, broke my fucking heart!! 😭😭

[@julpeacec19]

Rest in peace , inimitable brilliant Helen McCrory.

[@bobhee3561]

i wish they'd get michael fassbender or james mcavoy into the series, even if its for a few episodes

[@balajprasanna]

This!

[@4p853]

Sprezza tura I could see Michael fassbender . It would be cool if fassbender was a lost Shelby brother and mcavoy obviously another Shelby rival

[@marius1898]

oh my god YES PLEASE

[@jacquelinds]

Fassbender should be a new and terrifying ally to the Shelby’s!!!!! He should work among Hardy and Murphy, I would be flabbergasted

[@kaya6447]

Gosh Helen was so delightful...it's really quite tragic that she died...

I'm going to have to watch this again. Love The Peaky Blinders and was feeling like I was left in limbo when it ended.

Love Helen’s hair.

[@Allen2saint]

Helen was so wise. What a painful loss.

[@mca_a1131]

Helen looks very different when she is not acting! PB will not be the same without her character, and most certainty the only actress that can play her well!

[@judyroland2959]

I LOVE listening to Carynn!! Nice sounding voice and so smart about what she does and says’…

[@brandonkey181]

Weren't Harry and Finn there? Weird they weren't on stage. Though, if they're in the room I think they are, the 'stage-space' is pretty cramped.

[@davidwallace9695]

My father was born in 1899, my mother in 1909, so in a way I share the time span, if not the location of Steven Knight's brilliant (and brilliantly acted) drama. Now (having seen 5i & 5ii) i wonder the followng: Is Tomy Shelby going to be invited down to Chartwell? Now we have Mosley, are we going to meet the Mitford sisters - and even Hitler? Did Alfie Solomons die in 4,vi - and if not how might that connect to Mosely's blackshirts? Where is Charles Shelby going to go to school? - And one (with a wink) for Mr Knight: Have you ever been to Grimsby? If so, I hope you visited the fishing museum where Ewan McColl can be heard "Singing the Fishing." - They don't come much more working class than Ewan!

[@itsme1585]

David Wallace is Tommy ever going to eat !!!!! Never seen a morsel pass his lips

[@yvettemoore1228]

My grandparents were born in 1905 and 1907 so more Finn's age I guess, but my grandmother's wedding dress was almost identical to Ada's. He wore a newsboy cap in some photos, spats, plus fours, he had the haircut but not quite so severe. My grandpa was born in Leicester and met my nannan in Coventry. She never lost her accent even after leaving for the East Midlands. I totally understand!

[@Blando7887]

Helen McCrory was a high class woman, a strong woman

[@nongpoy0shop]

people say Cillian is never there because he's busy, and I'm like, is Sam Caflin THAT out of a job...?

Cill is a famous film and stage actor, Sam is not.

I love all the Peaky Blinders series, but Series 3 was my favourite... "Sometimes, assassins hide their allegiances behind the balls... " Class as fuck !

[@gavinmitchell6021]

Why only 6 episodes 😠 lol

[@PlasmaSpring]

Because that's the same length as every other fucking season

[@notxvexorr4379]

Because they don't stretch out plots and character arcs just because the show is more popular now. Quality over quantity

[@yvettemoore1228]

@@notxvexorr4379 I think the production process is quite intense as well. There's a lot of setting up and it takes time.

[@aleksisuuronen5969]

@@yvettemoore1228 Also writing. In most shows the creator usually leads a writersroom to figure out where the series is heading and then people from the room write different episodes, the creator usually the first and the last episode. In this case Knight developes the whole plot and writes every episode so you can imagine that takes time. Let's say there is a season a year and 6-10 writers working on it versus this show where it's just him, it's not going to finish up so quickly. Also many shows write episodes while they are already filming finished ones, in Peaky Blinders cast gets the final drafts of the six episodes month before filming to prepare well for the complicated filming schedule where they jump let's say scene from episode 2 into filming a scene from episode 5 to save money that they don't have.

[@dperson9212]

It's a good show, no question, but what ruins it for me are the multiple appalling attempts at doing a Brummie accent. They're a million miles away. Considering Steven Knight is a Brummie himself, surely he could advise? Cillian Murphy actually does a decent job, but most of them are horrendous. The only natural accents I've seen in this series are Tommy's two little kids. Why not just employ Brummie actors?

[@paulmaudsley8817]

Brummie actors might not be able to get into the characters as good, it'd be better to sacrifice a true accent over good acting rather than poor acting but they sound right

[@dperson9212]

@@paulmaudsley8817 of course, it's a fair point, but for a city of over a million people, and the Black Country next door also having a million odd, I'm sure there'd be plenty of talent knocking about locally.

[@EH-wi9dt]

Cillian and Helen actually both address this in an interview, and laugh about how many different takes on the Birmingham accent there are on one set. It is a difficult accent, but I agree that you would assume someone would be there to try and pull their accents together a bit more. That being said, they do such a fantastic job of portraying their characters and sucking you in, that I think the accents can be forgiven.

[@granto6738]

Very true I say this , and I just get f laughed at , Tom is ok , but Arthur is terribly bad , like Paul Anderson a lot , , then tom hardy , I just don't get him at all ,
