One of the most acclaimed and beloved dramas ever broadcast on the BBC, this historical crime saga needs no introduction. With impeccable writing, magnificent cinematography and a killer soundtrack, Peaky Blinders certainly deserves every superlative bestowed upon it – but perhaps its’ greatest asset is the performance of the late, great Helen McCrory. As Polly, the aunt to Cillian Murphy’s Tommy and his siblings, she steals every scene as the fearless treasurer of the Peaky Blinders. It is truly a powerhouse performance that serves now, sadly, as a bittersweet reminder of her McCrory’s incredible talent.
With a feature film on the way, there is no time like the present to catch up on this epic series with the complete Blu-ray collection from BBC Studios Home Entertainment.
Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy – Dunkirk, Inception) heads up one of Birmingham’s most feared criminal organisations. But when he sees an opportunity to move up in the world, it becomes clear that his ambition knows no bounds.
