It’s all gotten a bit dark in Peaky Blinders land, hasn’t it? We didn’t think we’d long for the days of a simple horse racing scam or graphic gangland fight, but here we are, with successive family bereavements, fascists networking for all they’re worth, and Thomas Shelby on the very last roll of his dice.
ICYMI, let’s start with a quick run down of last week’s episode, which began with Ruby Shelby’s funeral and ended with Tommy getting just about the worst news anyone can from their doctor. In between, there was a quick-fire massacre, and fascist peacocking at Tommy’s country mansion as Diana Mitford, Oswald Mosley and IRA bigwig Laura McKee sought to strike deals with influential Boston criminal Jack Nelson.
