Insane Peaky Blinders' Easter Eggs You Totally Missed
Sneaky little details and facts that even true fans might have overlooked.
Peaky Blinders, last aired more than a year ago, beyond its enthralling plotlines and great performances, hides a treasure trove of hidden details.
We bet you haven't noticed most of them.
Red Right Hand
In the 3rd episode of season 6, if you pay enough attention, you can notice that there is a red hand painted on the mirror in the bar.
It's a reference to the intro song Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and partially to the Irish organization.
World War I gift
Ever noticed the brass tin on Tommy's desk at the Shelby Company? That tin holds a significant backstory.
During World War I, every soldier of the British Empire received a Princess Mary gift box filled with chocolates and cigarettes for Christmas.
Tommy, deeply marked by his wartime experiences, seems to treasure this gift box as a cherished memento.
Nods to The Godfather
If you're a fan of The Godfather, keep your eyes peeled for some familiar references throughout Peaky Blinders. Oranges, a recurring symbol in the iconic film series, make subtle appearances in the show.
Take a look at Tommy Shelby's office in season 2, and you'll spot a bowl of oranges.
Moreover, when a journalist is shot in season 5, it bears resemblance to a scene from The Godfather, complete with a bag of oranges. These clever nods pay homage to a classic.
Alfie Solomons' house
Alfie Solomons, the cunning character we can never fully trust, has a hidden detail in his apartment. The tiles spell out "Lethe," a Greek word meaning "concealment." In Greek mythology, Lethe represents the spirit of forgetfulness.
This subtle design choice perfectly reflects Alfie's nature and leaves fans questioning his true intentions within the series.
Ozzy Osbourne
Surprisingly, the influence of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne extends to Peaky Blinders. Helen McCrory, who portrayed Polly Gray, had to adopt a Birmingham accent for her character.
To master the accent, McCrory turned to none other than Ozzy Osbourne himself.
As one of Birmingham's most famous figures, Ozzy became McCrory's guide as she watched a lot of his clips to study his manner of speaking.
