Tim Roth, Steven Knight & Tom Harper on Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Kyle Meredith sits down with Tim Roth, creator Steven Knight, and director Tom Harper to talk about Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the film that brings Tommy Shelby’s story to its long-planned conclusion. Knight reveals that the idea of ending Peaky Blinders with a movie set during World War II was part of the plan from the very beginning, while Harper discusses translating the series into a more focused cinematic finale—complete with intense practical sequences like the brutal mud fight between Cillian Murphy and Barry Keoghan and a collapsing tunnel scene filmed largely for real. Roth also talks about joining the universe after a personal invitation from Murphy, reshaping his character into a deceptively calm Nazi sympathizer, and how his own family’s World War II history gave the role emotional weight. Along the way, the conversation touches on real historical inspirations—from the bombing of Birmingham’s BSA factory to wartime spiritualists claiming to speak with the dead—as well as Roth’s friendships with icons like David Bowie and Patti Smith, all while reflecting on the legacy and final chapter of one of television’s most beloved crime stories.Listen to Tim Roth, Steven Knight and Tom Harper chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
