Billy Kimber is the most real person from the series, and a lot of Thomas Shelby's story arcs from season 1 to 3 follow the pattern of the real Kimber's life. But even Kimber never made it as far up as the fictional Thomas Shelby.

@braydenbasil7636 Год назад

What do you mean, "the most real person"? Oswald Mosley was a real person, and the actor played him brilliantly. The show depicted him very accurately. He also had a lot more screen time than Billy Kimber.

the peaky blenders out their razor blades in the brim of their hats, and swing the whole hat as a weapon with the razor blade leading the edge. hence, when they cut your face, they'd usually cut your eyes...hence the peaky blinders.

And yes in the beginning they spoke the Romanian language from Romania because didn't have the proper linguistics individual to speak the language actual gypsy language and later on in the rest of the episodes they had that finally to keep it true to keep yeah that was kind of embarrassing I thought in the beginning they shouldn't have done that but I guess they learned from their mistake because people were complaining

My understanding is that the fictional Shelby family had some Romani blood (genetically different than Irish) and had also come out of the Irish Traveler community (genetically Irish). Such mixing was not especially common. Not an expert, but I believe the Romani gypsies probably had more mystical, occultist beliefs, but the Irish in general had no shortage of superstitions and supernatural beliefs as well. (Big on curses, for sure.) There's a couple/few vids on YT that get into that. Here's one that really goes into details for 1.5 hours: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ak1CTBv5BTY.html
