Peaky Blinders series six date unveiled in Tommy Shelby mural

Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has said he hopes the franchise will continue "as long as the energy is there," as the final TV season of the Birmingham crime gang serial prepares to air later this month. The BBC show follows the lives of the notorious Shelby family, a gang rising to prominence in post-First World War Birmingham, and is returning for its sixth and final series later this month. A striking 12.71m (41.7ft) high mural of the series’ gang leader Tommy Shelby has been painted on the side of a building overlooking the Old Crown pub in Digbeth, Birmingham.
