This season has seen the BBC2 period gangster drama find an impressive two million viewers, AND be bought up by Harvey Weinstein for distribution on Netflix in the States - not bad for a family tale set in Birmingham in the 1920s.

Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby has a lot on his mind during the final episode of 'Peaky Blinders'

Series creator Steven Knight has dug into his own family's chequered history for more tales of the Peaky Blinders - this deceptively-innocent tag belying the violence that could be created courtesy of razor blades kept in peaked caps - and this week's finale finds the law being firmly bent as Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) prepares to carry out a military murder - as instructed by Inspector Chester Campbell (scene-stealing Sam Neill), and against the innocuous backdrop of the Epsom Derby.

Inspector Chester Campbell (Sam Neill) is prepared to bend the law for his country - but will his plan work?

But Tommy has other schemes afoot, not least strengthening his hand against his arch-foe Darby Sabini. Which is all very well and good, Except, as with all good dramas, there's a girl who might just disrupt proceedings...

'Peaky Blinders' Series 2 finishes on Thursday at 9pm, BBC2.
