Faith in Peaky Blinders is repaying the BBC is its bid to move stuff outside London. Series creator Stephen Knight plans to build studios in Adderley Street, Digbeth, where he'll make a Peaky Blinders movie. (Adderley Street is home to The Rainbow pub, where legend says the real Peaky Blinders started their violent gang life, with the murder of someone who allegedly ordered a non-alcoholic drink. It's just over a ten minute stroll to the new HS2 Curzon Street station).
The new studios will also be the new home for the Masterchef shows, in a six-year deal with Shine Banijay.
Meanwhile Knight has also struck a deal with the BBC to produce a new version of Great Expectations. All lovely, eh ?
