Few TV shows have ever genuinely managed to attain cultural phenomenon status. But when you have bars, whiskeys and festivals named in your honour, and a haircut and dress sense that instantly scream the name of your show (as well as ‘bit of a prick…’), it is fair to say you are worthy of the term. It is therefore impressive that Peaky Blinders – The Real Story manages to find an original angle at which to discuss Steven Knight’s epic historical drama.
