    I did a quick google and can't find any info about a season 3, but I'm sure there will be one :)

    I read somewhere recently that it was October but that could have been guesswork?

    Great news. He's a great actor and his addition to the cast should make a great show even better!

    I need to rewatch this, but can't remember.. is Tom Hardy still in it? Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, and Paddy Considine would make for an incredible movie - just shows how far TV has come.

    So guys is there still no word on when season 3 begins? The previous two ran from mid September through October so I'm a little peeved that we haven't got a start date yet.

    I suppose it's looking likely now that they might hold it back until early next year.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,350 ✭✭✭Cortina_MK_IV


    Season 3 is listed as 2015 but no specific date... Maybe no final decision just yet.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7 rockonkw


    Just finished watching season 1 and 2 of Peaky Blinders, seen a few threads saying the third season will be out this year. I can't wait any longer! Does anyone have a date it's gonna be aired? I'm dying to know what's gonna happen next :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,729 ✭✭✭brian_t


    No air date yet but the Independent suggests it might be as early as April.
    We won't be getting the new episodes between now and March as they're still being edited, but Independent.co.uk has learned that producers are working towards a potential April premiere.

    Wait nearly over for Peaky Blinders season 3 as filming wraps

    The incas were chewing coca leaves 5,000 years ago. And cocaine started being used in its present form as a recreational drug around the late 19th/early 20th century.
    Famously being used in the original Coca Cola receipe.
    In the 1930s the UK was the third largest producer of cocaine.
    So it's certainly believeable that people were snorting cocaine in a big city like Birmingham.

    Crime has always existed and as long as there have been police forces there have been corrupt police men.
    It's not unreasonable to believe that the Birmingham police force could be paid off to turn a blind eye.

    As for "getting up on young ones" if no one had been doing that then there'd have been no babies.
    A lot of the time they seem to employ prostitutes which would have been in line with the "entertainment" available in a working class city like Birmingham.

    but it seemed like utter chaos, i presume this would have been confined to certain areas as opposed to being widespread? also, i'm thinking that back then, there would have been a greater divide between rural and city life, rual life would have been less exposed to the likes of cocaine, prostitutes and crime?

    if we take an irish example, i believe around the end of the 19th century "the monto" was a hive of prostitution and crime, however, il bet the middle of offaly or leitrim wouldnt have any knocking shops or knife crime etc?

    I don't see anything in the show that contradicts any of that. The peaky blinders are based in a working class area of Birmingham and everything you expect to go on there does.
    Maybe I haven't been watching it closely enough but I don't remember them ever visiting offal or leitrim. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/arts-culture-news/truth-behind-peaky-blinders-no-7938754

    i'm just giving an irish example, but in the show you can see that when they leave the kip of a back street they operate from the weather suddenly gets better and there is more light....

    gangsters back then dressed so well, nowadays all they do is wear hoods and tuck their tracksuit bottoms into their socks

    The Peaky Blinders were actually a real life street gang in Birmingham in the early part of the 20th century. Although this show is a fictional portrayal of their existence and not based on the real gang.

    Organised crime was fairly well entrenched in the British industrial cities by the 20s. Protection, Prostitution and illegal gambling were all big money making rackets. Corruption and extreme violence obviously also a feature.

    Peaky Blinders back Thursday 5th May on BBC2.

    Wonder if it'll be up in Netflix at the same time or will we be likely waiting a few months for it?

    There'll be a wait I'd say for sure. BBC won't give it to them for a while.

    Don't trust that Michael chap.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,919 ✭✭✭ziggy23


    I thought it was a good 1St episode although I just can't warm to that grace character. I definitely think Michael is a bit of a snake in the grass


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,051 ✭✭✭boccy23


    Enjoyed it as well, although other people in work thought it was slow.

    Good story line developing over the Churchill thing.

    Agree that Michael will be the interesting character. Have hope that Aurthur's wife (?) will be interesting.

    Will season 3 be released on DVD straight after it finishes on TV?

    I agree, that grace is hateful, so it turns out she is anglo irish and part of the aristocracy?

    presumably her husband killed himself because she fecked off with tommy?

    can someone fill me in, churchill and co were supporting the communists?

    Dailymotion, just watched the first episode of season 3 on it today. Really enjoyed, Thomas Shelby is absolutely gorgeous....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,934 ✭✭✭✭fin12


    Tommy is obviously going to have affairs while being married to Grace, can't see him being faithful to her, there's something very sneaky about her and she's really stuck up as well.
