Before stepping back into his character's shoes for the film, Murphy confessed that he rewatched the show. Speaking to GQ, he said: "Since I started producing I was a producer on Peaky you kind of have to. It kind of takes the curse off of it.

"It was very nice watching it, because it was actually quite a good show. It was also quite heart breaking, because I was watching Helen McCrory, and we lost her.

"But you can distance yourself from it, and look at and say, 'Right, that's the atmosphere we want. That's the look we need, that's the silhouette, and that's the energy we need from it'. We need to turn it up for the movie, obviously."

Peaky Blinders is streaming on Netflix and BBC iPlayer.
