“In my opinion, there are two kinds of people in this world. There are the people who are obsessed with Peaky Blinders, and then there’s the people who haven’t seen Peaky Blinders. I obviously sit in the first category, so can we please talk about Tommy fucking Shelby for just one minute? I mean, that was years and years of your life.”

“I mean, I’m open to the idea. I’ve always thought that if there’s more story to tell …,”Murphy gave his view on the continuity.
“Please do it. Please! Obviously, I’ve now revealed that I am a big fan of yours, not just Peaky Blinders,” Robbie enthusiastically said.
“Well it’s kind of sometimes hard to kinda move into the film format, and I do like the ambiguity of the ending. I know. But I’m always open to like a great script,” Murphy added.
