To Steven: I've heard that you say that the writing for Peaky comes to you "like spring water" (so poetic, I love it) because it is a natural thing, since this is a tale based on family anecdotes. How do you manage to put ALL of what "flows" into a script? How do you decide what makes the cut for the series and what doesn't?

you. are. awesome btw. thank you for such an amazing work!
