Well I must say that after being a bit confused with some earlier episodes I really enjoyed last night. Bravura performance from the bloke playing "The Wandering Jew". Come to think of it, is it the same guy who played the Spanner -supporting low-life in Lilyhammer? Think they have the Russians spot on, too, even if they might seem over the top to anyone who hasn't spent time in Russian company.

Tom Hardy.
Ah, not the same bloke. Anyone else see and remember the bloke in Lilyhammer? I nearly spat my beer out when he started going on about his Millwall Brick. Saw the actor recently in a quite different role, period spy drama, I think.
Peaky Blinders s doing its best to put back the affect of a smoking advertising ban has had . Is there ever a scene where Cilian Murphy hasn't got a cigarette in his mouth ? Minor gripe ;-)

You should watch Mad Men. You'd love it.
I have seen them all . Very similar although the network got them to dumb down the smoking in the final season apparently .

Perhaps that's why his voice has changed to a hoarse, vaguely Brummie whisper in this series.
Magnificent. Hats off to the BBC. This is right up there with some of the best acting seen for a long while. Helen Mcrory is superb and Tom Hardy is off the scale.
From what I've seen, the series has been a great advert for the Brexit/Stop Immigration campaign .. ultra violent, psychotic Gypsy, Italian and Jewish gangsters fighting over 'turf' in England's green & pleasant land ..

Not sure you can call B'ham in the 20s & 30s, green & pleasant.

((:>) .. that was written a wee bit tongue in cheek .. from what I can make out, these fictitious Peaky Cheeky Bleeders had more power throughout England than the king, the police and parliament all rolled into one .. only Mr Churchill at the behest of the White Russians could control them .. all 3 series from what I've seen have been a distortion of history, just violent crap dressed up as dramatic historical costume drama .. the real Peaky Blinders were a small gang of small time Brummie crooks with nothing like the violent tendencies and social impact portrayed here by the Beeb .. then again, you watch television drama, you gotta suspend a good deal of belief whilst so doing

Bloody League of Nations dictating how we run our country from Geneva. Things were much better in the old Queen's time. I tell you, if we don't do something now by 1935 we'll be over run by foreigners
Just watched the last one. I enjoyed it without fully understanding everything that was going on.( am I the only one ?) Fantastic scene with Murphy and Hardy. It was Pacino/Di Niro esque from Heat.

That was Paul Kaye. Shame they cancelled Lilyhammer

Have to say thought this scene was great.
