Peaky Blinders is a drama on BBC 2 on Thursday nights about a criminal gang in 1920 Birmingham.
It short it's probably the best drama on TV at the moment and people should give it a go
A mate of mine is convinced it was originally called Pikey Blinders and was about a traveller gang but it wasn't politically correct.
Can't find any info on this and all reports recount it as a true account of a gang in Birmingham in the 1920s just as the drama itself.
He won't have it, but either way people should give this a look if you like true crime and gangster movies.

My friend is one of the producers. I will ask her the question if you want.
Can't see anyone conceiving a program with "pikey" in the title though.

It would settle an argument.
Also pass on my thanks for producing one of the best dramas made for tv.

They had razor blades in the peaks of their caps and slashed people across the face hence the name PEAKy BLINDERS.

Googled it and looked it up and agree why it's called Peaky Blinders but mate is convinced it was going to be called Pikey Blinders
