Cillian Murphy: ‘I was in awe of how Helen McCrory lived her

Peaky Blinders' season 5 finale saw the boldest cliffhanger in the show's history with Tommy Shelby's mental trauma culminating with him facing down his dead wife – and horse – while pointing a gun at his head, seemingly poised to pull the trigger.This episode was bookended by a touchingly tender tribute to the late, great Helen McCrory. It’s only right that we begin by paying respects to our own Peaky matriarch: the much-loved journalist Sarah Hughes, a Blinders superfan and previous custodian of this blog. Sarah sadly died of cancer in April 2021 – within 11 days of McCrory, in fact – aged just 48, filing copy from her hospital bed right until the end.

The final straw was sleeping with the enemy, Diana Mitford (Amber Anderson). Violence and bribery allowed Peaky Blinders enormous levels of control in the area. Economically, politically and socially, the Peaky Blinders called the shots and dictated the decisions. Culturally, they were dominating the scene. One of the main factors that precipitated their rise in power was that so many leading figures, for example in business, the law and elsewhere were in their pay, thus allowing a growing contempt for criminality that they knew was unlikely to face punishment.One of you will die. Which I cannot tell.” This barrelling episode began with vengeful Michael Gray (Finn Cole) finally getting out of jail, where he’d been simmering all series after being set up by Tommy (Cillian Murphy). His intentions to kill his cousin had been stated all series. Now moustachioed Mikey (don’t call him that) put his plan into action.
