[deFacto please, you bastards]

Cillian Murphy manages to become fitter every series, which is amazing considering the massive handicap of that haircut.

Wash your mouth out with soup, that haircut is the truth.

I've only just seen he's 41 years old?! Fucking hell I thought he was about 30.

[bobadicious]

That was brilliant television. The scene with the mafia guy was hilarious and chilling. Brilliant dialogue.

My 16 year old nephew is the absolute double of Cillian Murphy.

Adrien Brody channelling a bad Brando impression takes me right out of his scenes

He reminded me more of De Niro in Godfather II. I thought he was quite chilling.

[RedSince86]

Fantastic episode again.

Nice to see Littlefinger/Mayor Carcetti make a return to our screens.

The last scene was brilliant viewing.

[BigAl24]

Another great episode and the last scene in my opinion was gripping.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Belter episode, I do agree that Brody is trying too much with the Brando impersonation a bit, but his presence on the screen is good and the dialogue is top notch. It was def. chilling with his encounter with Tommy.

[So… Howard Philips]

It took me a while to realise who Mr Gold was. Hope we find out why the Shelby's are so fearful of him.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

How many episodes will there be this series? 6 ?

I wouldn't be surprised if the manager at factory is a grass, maybe took the bullets out of the gun as well. Tommy only went out of his office for the fight and this was arranged on the spur of the moment yet Changretta says it was all pre arranged and someone sneaked in and took the bullets out.
Office manager then tries to stop Tommy seeing him by saying he can turn him away if he wants.
Probably way off, but Changrettas story doesn't add up and Tommy and Arfur will suss him out.

Loving it so far.

Is it just me, but every time they show the street they are hiding out in and says its in Birmingham, I shout at the telly, "no it's not, it's Toxteth"

Probably just me

I always think, Don't they have entries in Birmingham.
Probably just me as well.

[Pistolero]

Peaky has never been known for its subtlety..particularly with its various accents...so I rather enjoyed Brody's channeling of Vito Corleone!...Aidan Gillen is a great addition to the ensemble too..has a weird, smiling menace about him that Ive always enjoyed....already looking forward to next weeks

Haha, even the posher house, every time it comes on I think that's Port Sunlight.

and the boat yard - that's Ellesmere Port Boat Museum ! 

[Yiannis]

Last scene was boss and even endured (barely) the incessant Brando impersonation.

No way, Looks like there both setting a trap. I think Changretti knows what shes up too, he knows shes always holds a grudge forever, I wonder if she meant against his mother as well. he knows shes up to something but he doesent care, he plans to double cross her first.

I hope you're right mate, I don't trust her whilst she's on the blow.

You have to be a bit more understanding,all the stuff shes gone through the last few series, cant blame anyone for being on the blow, feel like going on it just watching.

She'd be bloody naive to think that Cangretta would be that naive to believe her. but will see what happens

Love a ciggy Tommy Shelby.

Seen Cillian once on an Ryanair over to Dublin from John Lennon, he's proper tiny.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

I told you lads about that snow snorting old tart!

[Igor Tripod Biscan]

I'm not the biggest Tom Hardy fan - too 1 dimensional for me, but I this it, his character really works to contrast with Tommys cool, brooding and controlled exterior, whereas Brody (and especially with that crap 'I'm being a gangster' voice and toothpick combo) is too similar for me

[oldfordie]

Spoiler

You were spot on their. she and her Son have come down in my estimation now.
What is it with the Yanks, why do they always have to chase people around in cars with guns when they only had to blast him as soon as he walked out of the building.

but maybe just maybe, this is a set up to kill Luca, have him think that they have a deal, using Tom as bait?

I was thinking that myself. taking a bit of a chance though, unless she knew they planned to hide away in the van and shoot him as he drove off, wonder if he's made his car bullet proof. maybe Tommys sussed them both out, he gave her son a few opportunities to warn him and walked out the hospital room in disgust when he told him to have a nice weekend. he knows somethings going on.

if she indeed ends up being a double crossing cuntbag, I imagine that Tom will go apeshit ballistic surely if he survives

I usually have some wild theory on whats going to happen which turns out wrong but I haven't got a clue what happens next except Tommy will survive and he will be ruthless. if she hasn't warned Tommy then shes either a goner or on a boat with her Son to the USA.

Spoiler

Had not even considered that as I was too busy raging at Polly but it's defo a theory that makes sense, it's something Tommy would do, it's Polly's way of protecting Michael too. Either way, Tommy gave Michael a look that he knows something isn't right so he is either in on it or will be very pissed

And you were right

Watery Lane, the 1920s Birmingham home of the gangsters, led by Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), is actually filmed on Powis Street in the Welsh Streets area of Toxteth.

Shes still off her head though, "I can see dead people "
Love the series but if Tommy knew they planned to hit him and that was his trap then why wasn't everyone else ready to blast them as soon as they got out of the cars in the block of flats, it would have actually made a great final episode.
