Warning: contains spoilers forPeaky Blindersseries one.
The worlds foremost gangster drama set in early 20th-century Birmingham returns to our screens this October.
Heres what we learned about series 2 on our visit to the set.
I think theres a point where thats it.
For now, though, were firmly ensconced at the beginning of the Jazz Age.
And that is shown by him having his own legal office.
The main office in Watery Lane has been expanded, Production Designer Grant Montgomery tells us.
[Tommys] clothes are a bit more stylish, Borg says, but theyve all got the hats!
This isThe Godfather, says Borg.
I think the stories are much more complex says Borg of this years scripts.
It takes you to all different places, and that makes it a much bigger event.
You feel that youre in a much bigger world.
It has a high intensity.
I would say that its bolder, its slightly bigger, and its bloodier.
Theres a high body count this series, and I think thats great for a gangster picture.
If theres one word that on everyones lips on set, that word is London.
The London exteriors are quite wow, says Montgomery, I think theyre fantastic.
Which we shot in Bolton, which was hilarious.
Youd never think you could find London in Bolton but you’re free to.
Tom Hardy andGame Of Thrones Noah Taylor join the cast this season as big names in the London underworld.
Tom came in because ofLocke, with Steve, but also because of us, says Borg.
I think he just loved the idea of doing something that is gangster-y, with Cillian.
Tom plays this hairy Jewish gang leader, says Borg, with his big beard.
Its the right time to start drinking, Cole observes, to start living the Peaky lifestyle.
Hes quite a cool customer, says Cole, so he fits in very quickly.
He wants to learn and he wants to be a part of it and he thinks its really cool.
And thats what being a Peakys about.
I think he fits in very well.
Hes a lot like Tommy.
The kid is obviously missing something out of his normal life.
I think Steven has plotted out the next series, says Borg.
I cant tell you what it is!
We have so many twists and turns its quite shocking, what happens.
Youre thinking, how do we cope with that in terms of the next series?
I think Cillian has invested so much time into this character, Borg tells us.
Cillian is the key component.
People love Tommy Shelby.
Without Cillian you dont have a show.
When asked whether it was intimidating to work with such big names, his answer is clear.
Definitely not intimidating, no.
Even watching those guys is awesome.
And you learn a lot with them.
Intimidating would be the wrong word, exciting I think is what Id say.
But theres only four nominees and theres only one gong.
I think its a terrible shame that they werent at least mentioned in the line-up.
But Steve Knight… do writers get BAFTAs?
It really does feel like were shooting cinema here, says Borg.
These are some big sets.
Its big, Montgomery agrees, I love that about the series.
It has that cinematic quality to it, I think thats whats key about it.
It does wear its ambition on its sleeve.
Peaky Blinders series two starts on Thursday the 2nd of October on BBC Two.
