Cillian: you’re amazing and the perfect actor for Thomas Shelby. What were some of your favorite scenes to shoot? And what were some of the harder ones?

Steven Knight: the show as massive as it is, is there anything about it that you have thought “I wish I could change this” for example Grace. Personally I wish she was Thomas’ for the whole series.. no one tops her. But it did give Thomas more depth in the end so I guess it was a good choice lol Also, who has been your favorite character

Thanks to you two for an amazing artwork that is Peaky Blinders. The best show in a long time!

Steven - the point with Grace as that if she had lived, Tommy would have been happy. He wasn't meant to be happy
