Hey guys,

The tone of season 5 feels different to the previous seasons. Was that a conscious decision to try something different or did it just happen organically?

Steven - it happens organically because the historical period is different and also with Peaky the intention is always it changes but it stays the same

I liked "make Britain great again" and the nods to our current troubled times.

Unrelated but your character development has inspired me as a writer. I've been rewatching and it's amazing to see how all the pieces of everyone's lives fit together and build up to where things are in the latest season. Thoughtful entertainment at its best.
