Peaky Blinders is my favourite television drama at the moment. It’s a great show, with high drama, violence and emotion. Even though the Peaky Blinders are gangsters, you can’t help but be invested in them and want them to succeed. This is the book for the fans, looking at the story from the creation through to the end of series four. (Series five came to the screens in 2019, and season six is coming…) De fiecare dată când cineva mă întreabă care este serialul meu preferat, ca și când alegerea ar putea fi cu adevărat una ușoară, mă blochez. Câteva îmi vin imediat în minte. Altele devin din ce în ce mai încețoșate. Cumva, indiferent cât de multe producții aș vedea, Peaky Blinders o să se afle mereu în top, chiar și ignorând acele momente în care am fost la un pas să arunc cu ceva înspre ecran, furioasă și dezamăgită de reacțiile și lanțul (aparent) nesfârșit de trădări din familia Shelby. Iar acum, după ce am citit și „ghidul” oficial al serialului, sunt tentată să-l revăd doar pentru a-mi aminti cât de înșelătoare au fost primele sezoane. Ugolini, Laura (2007).

I personally really enjoyed the earlier bits about the slogging gangs of the 1800's. Chinn really built the atmosphere of the times. The sense of lawlessness, of contempt for the police and petty indiscriminate violence and how Birmingham faced those challenges and overcame them. In the early part of the series when the group was still struggling to survive in Birmingham, Polly served as part advisor to Tommy and part devil's advocate. I’m a fan of the TV series, Peaky Blinders (BBC), so I was delighted to receive this is a gift from a relative. I really wanted to love this book, or at the very least enjoy it, but it was a real slog (no pun intended) to finish. It was difficult to assign a star rating to it – the depth of research that’s gone into it should make it at least a 3* - but unfortunately, it was a rather dull, needlessly drawn out book full of grammatical mistakes, which is why I’ve classified it as a 2*. Intriga te seduce încă din primul sfert de oră: în 1919, o ladă cu mitraliere și muniție este furată din fabrica de armament Birmingham Small Arms, doar ca să ajungă (întâmplător, bineînțeles) în mâinile unei grupări infracționale conduse de familia Shelby, cunoscută în oraș drept Peaky Blinders. Îi recunoști fără probleme pe membrii bandei; sunt impecabil îmbrăcați, cu fiecare dungă a hainei la fel de dreaptă și tare precum lamele cusute în șepcile lor, cu papioanele și cravatele strânse bine în jurul gulerelor. Sunt periculoși, înspăimântători și lipsiți de milă. Sunt vicleni, inteligenți și imprevizibili.

The folk etymology of Peaky Blinder is that the gang members would stitch disposable razor blades into the peaks of their flat caps, which could then be used as weapons. However, as the Gillette company introduced the first replaceable safety razor system in 1903, in the United States, and the first factory manufacturing them in Great Britain opened in 1908, this idea of the origin of the name is considered to be apocryphal. [2] British author John Douglas, from Birmingham, said hats were used as weapons in his novel A Walk Down Summer Lane [3] – members with razor blades sewn into their caps would headbutt enemies to potentially blind them, [4] or the caps would be used to slash foreheads, causing blood to pour down into the eyes of their enemies, temporarily blinding them.

Now, half way through Season Five (oh yes people, though we have had 6 episodes already, according to Steven Knight, we will have a 5.2 continuation), we get a celebration book - and it scores HUGE! Imperious, fiercely loyal, and a leader in her own right, Polly provided an interesting counterpoint to the calm and calculating demeanor of Tommy Shelby. The book also covers the sets – Birmingham, the canals, Tommy’s mansion and the betting shop. Of course, there is a section devoted to the fashion – and the Peaky haircuts. And it wouldn’t be a Peaky Blinders book without information on the music, which really is like another character. There is a list of the music used in the series, what makes a song ‘Peaky’ and how it adds to the characters’ thoughts and motivations. (Knowing some of the songs well, I can confirm that the lyrics definitely fit in with the action and I will never not think of Tommy when I hear The Last Shadow Puppets’ Bad Habits).

It hurts giving any book two stars, especially where its author evidently has a genuine interest in the subject matter and has, undeniably, done the "spade work" in terms of research. There are three main problems: the book has a strange and haphazard structure; any commentary gets drowned by the sheer volume of newspaper references (barely one sentence can be completed without a direct quote from a 1900s Birmingham news report) and, inexcusably, it is strewn with spelling and grammatical errors. If we're being diplomatic, the writer has been ill-served by his editor.Seen through the prism of the series, Polly Gray is many things---advisor, mother, and fighter--famous for the line 'Don't f**k with the Peaky Blinders.' a b c d e f g h Halls, Eleanor.

The companion book is organised in a logical fashion, with the story starting with Steven Knight’s creation of the series. It’s based on the stories told to him as a youngster in Birmingham along with his experiences. The brief for Peaky Blinders is to make it larger than life, with great clothes, sets and drama. The book then discusses the plot of each series, interspersed with each of the actors of the main character talking about their character in the first person. It’s a unique way of doing this and it really shows the depth of research and knowledge each actor has of their character, down to the small costume details you can’t see and the mannerisms. (For example, should Tommy touch Polly’s arm? Or is that too weird? Does Tommy Shelby actually cry?) All the major characters are covered but I kind of wish Sam Neill (Major Campbell) and Tom Hardy (Alfie Solomons) had been included. Even though their time was limited/they had smaller roles, it would have been fascinating to hear their thoughts. (Especially Sam Neill, as his character just got more and more repulsive – how does he manage?) A collection of Alfie’s quotes would have been great too, but I see that the internet has that covered. I am glad to see that others love Arthur as much as I do! a b Solly, Meilan. "Who Were the Real 'Peaky Blinders'?". Smithsonian Magazine . Retrieved 10 April 2022.Shore, Heather (2001).
