​Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, a new Netflix-BBC coproduction in US and UK theaters now, is a big-screen outing for Cillian Murphy’s anti-hero, Tommy Shelby, a traumatized WWI veteran and brutal gangster. Over the course of six blood-soaked seasons, Murphy has written Tommy’s legend into the long, proud tradition of British gangster stories. As a longtime fan of the show, I was eager to see how it would fare in the cinema.. You needn’t have seen any of the series, which is kind of like a period Sopranos with distinctive Midlands accents and modern rock music on the soundtrack. With a minimum of exposition, the movie quickly fills you in on everything you need to know about Tommy and the Peaky Blinders gang — so named because they keep razors in their flat caps and do unspeakable things with them.. Fans of the show needn’t worry, either — the movie is written by series creator Steven Knight and directed by Tom Harper, who directed some of the first series. Stylistically, it’s very much of a piece with the show. Bloody violence in dark pubs contrasts with Tommy’s opium- and PTSD-inflected visions, ghostly images of the dead and supernatural gypsy witchcraft. It’s a whole vibe.. Gray-haired, bespectacled and haunted by his dead family, Tommy is hiding in his empty manor house after the events of season 6. Literally writing his legend, he’s trying to put his life story on paper in an effort to exorcise his many demons. His estranged son, Duke (Barry Keoghan), has taken over leadership of the Peaky Blinders and is making a name for himself as a violent war profiteer as bombs pound the industrial city of Birmingham, England, in the early years of WWII.. Barry Keoghan is the new king of Birmingham’s underworld. Netflix. I don’t think it’s a spoiler to tell you that, soon enough, Tommy puts away his reading glasses, dons his signature three-piece suit and flat cap, and drives his glorious Rolls-Royce into Birmingham to face his wayward son. Murphy is as formidable and elegant as ever in the role.. The show has always woven in real-life figures and I was expecting Tommy to revisit his long relationship with Winston Churchill and maybe end up working for British intelligence. It’s not quite that high-concept. A traitor called John Beckett (Tim Roth) plans to distribute a vast haul of Nazi counterfeit cash via gangs like the Peaky Blinders and crash the British economy. Will he persuade Duke to betray his country?. Read more: 44 of the Best Movies on Netflix You Should Stream Now. Roth is comically odious in the role, a real scenery-chewing villain. The movie opens with him loading millions of fake £5 notes onto a train at a concentration camp. He turns to the camera and sneers, “Heil fackin’ Hitler,” and that’s about all you need to know about him.. Having Barry Keoghan play Cillian Murphy’s son is a genius bit of casting. I absolutely love Keoghan in everything he’s in, and as Duke, he delivers sneering disdain, cold-eyed brutality and, when pushed,  

​Whovians, rejoice. The BBC is about to unlock a piece of Doctor Who history that even the TARDIS might have forgotten. Two lost episodes of Doctor Who, the iconic sci-fi series, will broadcast in April, the showrunner for the current season confirmed.. The two 1965 episodes, The Nightmare Begins and Devil’s Planet, were donated to the charitable trust Film Is Fabulous by the estate of an anonymous collector.. “The collector did recognize what he had, but how he acquired them has been lost to time,” Professor Justin Smith Leicester of De Montfort University, who led the recovery effort, told the broadcaster.. The researchers said that while most of the donor’s private collection was destroyed by water damage, the Doctor Who episodes were intact.. Doctor Who showrunner, Russell T Davies, celebrated the news on Instagram and said the episodes would air in the UK in April, though no US air date has been announced yet.. “Lost for 61 years! Best of all, these will be made available for FREE on the BBC iPlayer in April,” Davies wrote.. He expressed gratitude to Film Is Fabulous for finding the lost episodes and encouraged people to donate to the registered charity. “Maybe they’ll find more! As the Doctor says… ‘Daleks!'”. View this post on Instagram. The episodes feature the first incarnation of the Doctor, played by William Hartnell, and a typical Dalek plot to take over Earth and the galaxy.. In the 1960s and 1970s, the BBC had a policy of destroying film or reusing videotapes, leading to dozens of episodes of Doctor Who and other popular UK shows like Dad’s Army and Top of the Pops going missing.. Old Doctor Who episodes do surface occasionally, and in 2016, the newly discovered soundtrack for one storyline was turned into an animated series called The Power of the Daleks.. Meanwhile, Disney ended its working relationship with the BBC last year, and star Ncuti Gatwa left the show. However, the UK broadcaster says that Doctor Who will continue, and Russell T Davies is working on a new Christmas special.
