Peaky Blinders viewers were left stunned as they tuned into the latest episode of the hit series. Season six of the BBC One drama began earlier this month and fans are savouring every moment as it is the last outing for the Shelby clan.

From the smoke-congested maze of Small Heath's streets to the Aunt Polly's opulent suburban Tudor manor, the locations and properties that have featured in Peaky Blinders have kept fans coming back for more since it first aired in 2013.Though the BBC favourite was initially set in the inky terraces and deprived alleyways of 1919 Birmingham, as the show developed into six fully-fledged and multi award-winning series', the cast have moved to some of the most breathtaking filming locations that the UK has to offer. You may have been thinking – when observing Tommy Shelby angrily storming through the corridors of his illustrious country mansion – how much would some of these impressive or unusual properties cost you in 'today's money'? Well, after consulting with modern day Birmingham-based estate agent Barrows and Forrester, we're here to put you out of your misery...

SPOILERS AHEAD In the final series of smash-hit BBC drama Peaky Blinders, which is set in the 1920s/30s, main character Tommy Shelby's family has been plagued by tuberculosis.The heartbroken dad lost daughter Ruby to the disease, and in the most recent episode Tommy, who is played by Cillian Murphy, was informed by his doctor that he has tuberculoma in his brain stem.This was caused by close contact with tuberculosis, and is a non-cancerous growth.The doctor informed Tommy that it is inoperable as "any attempt to remove it would result in trauma and brain haemorrhage." He continued, "the rate of physical and mental deterioration will increase," before informing the gang leader that he had 12-18 months to live. The TV show is fictional (although based loosely on a real gang with the same name as its title), but the disease that may cause Tommy's death is very much real.

Forget all the drama with the Shelby family down the back streets of Birmingham in BBC One’s Peaky Blinders – this Sunday it’s all about family fights in real-life.

Tom Hardy has become a household name, having starred in many popular films and TV shows over the years. The actor, 44, boasts an impressive resume, with roles in Legend, The Dark Knight Rises and Dunkirk to name a few.

Peaky Blinders star Joe Cole felt like he ‘exhausted’ his character on the popular BBC series, which ultimately led to his exit in 2017. The 33-year-old actor played Tommy Shelby’s (Cillian Murphy) younger brother John in the Birmingham-based drama – which focuses on the famous families’ reign following World War I in 1918. Cole had cameos in Holby City, The Bill, and teen comedy Skins before landing the Peaky Blinders gig in 2013, and although he starred in the popular programme for three seasons, he still doesn’t regret walking away from it five years later.

The highly-anticipated Season 6 premiere of period gangster epic Peaky Blinders was watched by 3.8 million viewers in the UK on Sunday, according to overnight figures.

It also ties the series record previously set by the Season 5 finale in September 2019. The market share was 21.8% on Sunday with a peak of 4.1 million viewers. The episode faced strong competition from the season finale of ITV drama Trigger Point which ended up winning the 9pm slot.
