Peaky Blinders

FAQ



    Because Red Right Hand is a popular song used in several movies and TV shows. It sets a tone for the show.



    There are several variations of the name Elizabeth in GB, Polly, Betty, Peggy and Lizzy are just a few well known shortenings.



    According to a quick google search, these scenes were shot in the Leeds Town Hall, but they are suggested to be a museum in Birmingham.



    The original Peaky Blinders gang was a real early 1900's gang from Birmingham. The origins of their name are unknown, but there are two popular theories - one states that the gang members stitched razor blades to the inside of their flat caps. This iconic flat cap was also called a "peaky", and when they headbutted someone in a fight wearing one, it could cause blindness.

    However, according to the Birmingham Mail, that story is most likely an invention, since disposable razor blades weren't invented till much later. They give the reason for the "blinders" name as merely being popular slang for someone who blinds with their dashing appearance.



    Officially yes but there is a feature length film planned for release in 2025/2026.



    They are based on the Worth Valley Railway near Keighley in West Yorkshire (http://www.kwvr.co.uk/) and are often in use for the public to travel in during special events. They are owned by the Vintage Carriages Trust (http://www.vintagecarriagestrust.org/) and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Trust (http://www.lyrtrust.org.uk/) - one of theirs is the unique Blackpool Club Carriage of 1912, which was partly refurnished on set to be Winston Churchill's travelling office.



    Reasons are unknown. Scripts were written but not titled.

    However, starting with Season 4 episodes do get titled.
