It's not long now until the sixth and final season of Steven Knight's gritty and violent drama Peaky Blinders returns to our screens.
Next weekend, Cillian Murphy will return as Tommy Shelby along with Paul Anderson (Arthur Shelby), Harry Kirton (Finn Shelby) and Sophie Rundle (Ada Thorne).
Another addition to the new series is Stephen Graham, who is set to join the cast as a new character and there's much talk about the return of Tom Hardy in the role of Alfie Solomons.
But sadly there will be one big noticeable difference within the cast and that's the absence of matriarch character Aunty Polly, after the death of actress Helen McCrory last year following her battle with cancer.
A world premiere will be held at Cineworld Broad Street on February 24 to mark the new season and there is a ballot for tickets on the BBC Shows and Tours website until Thursday, February 17 at 6pm.
The event will include a screening of the first episode and a Q&A with participants including creator Steven Knight.
With 30 episodes already having been screened across previous series - which began in September 2013 - fans will be eagerly awaiting to learn what happens next in the story of the notorious Shelby family’s rise to prominence and power, against the backdrop of working class, post-First World War Birmingham.
