Peaky Blinders

After Tommy Shelby discovered the death of his Aunt Polly, the action jumped forward to post-prohibition Boston.

He pulled the trigger, too, only to find that his brother Arthur (Paul Anderson) had been one step ahead of him and removed the bullets. With a transfixing opening episode, the final series began last night. As her body burned in a traditional caravan, each character said goodbye to the show’s Gypsy Queen. It was cinematic and incredibly emotional, and a declaration of revenge against Tommy by her son Michael (Finn Cole) set up the rest of the series nicely.

He is the uncle of American Gina Gray (played by Anya Taylor-Joy), the wife of Michael Gray (Finn Cole). While he hasn't made a physical appearance in Peaky ...

At the end of the premiere episode, it is revealed that Uncle Jack would be soon boarding a steamer ship to the UK. Uncle Jack is a wealthy businessman and politician who made his way in the world of criminality to win his power in mainstream life. Just as Tommy is the head of the Shelby family, Uncle Jack is the head of the Nelsons with various parallels between the two.

Cillian Murphy's notorious gang leader Thomas Shelby dons the MCU Iron Man's high-tech armor in a new piece of Peaky Blinders crossover fan art.

While Shelby's hands are certainly the wrong ones for an Iron Man suit to end up in, the visual of the crime boss strutting through the mist in his armor is an impressive way to celebrate Peaky Blinders' season 6 ending. While they are worlds apart, the thought of Shelby acquiring something as powerful as Iron Man's armor is interesting, as Shelby is just as ambitious, cunning, and resourceful as Tony Stark was shown to be in the MCU, with both men being shaped by their respective traumas. A man of dubious morals, Thomas "Tommy" Shelby is one of the current age of television's more complex characters.

In the first few moments of the episode, Tommy Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy, finds Polly Gray has died. Many fans are wondering what happened to Aunt Polly ...

They admitted to killing Barney, Aberama Gold and Polly Gray in retaliation to Tommy's plotting. In the first episode of series six, Tommy receives a call from the IRA saying they needed to keep Mosley alive. What happened to Polly Gray in Peaky Blinders series 6?

Anya Taylor Joy's Peaky Blinders character Gina is part of the powerful fictional Nelson family inspired by a real American dynasty.

Fictionalising the patriarch of one of America’s most famous dynasties to dig down into the roots of privilege is all part of the mission. When Den of Geek brings up this network to Steven Knight, he nods at the suggestion that he’s setting up connections between all these characters for later down the line, “Absolutely.” “The best you can do as a writer is to take what really happened, which is always beyond anything you would dare invent, and then use that. “You’ve done your research,” laughs Knight, confirming that we’re not on the wrong track looking at the Kennedy dynasty as a historical inspiration for the fictional Nelson family. That man was Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. (1888 – 1969). Joe Kennedy Sr. was a Boston-born businessman, politician, and the father to nine children including future president JFK, and U.S. Senator Bobby Kennedy. The so-far unseen head of Gina’s family is her uncle, Jack Nelson. Like Tommy Shelby, Uncle Jack is a fictional wealthy businessman and politician who rose from criminality to the corridors of power and the pages of society magazines.

Peaky Blinders star Sophie Rundle will ensure the character of Aunt Polly lives on following the death of actress Helen McCrory.

Helen loved her costume fittings, I loved the fittings with her. "It was really difficult because [Helen] was one that I had started [designing costumes for] very early on. She said: "In season five, we really wanted to make our mark with Polly. We really felt that the script really led to that and we discussed at the start [before season six], that we could push her even further.
