One of the producers is a friend of mine, she gave me one of the cloth caps they used in the series :)
Also Andy Bevan of ITV interviewed me last week (via Skype) about my great grandfather, Billy Kimber, who left the Peaky Blinders to form his own gang, the Brummagem Boys. He was probably the biggest gangster in Britain at that time. I've also been speaking to Carl Chinn, he was unaware that Kimber had any kids, so he was very interested in my family history. My interview I think is due for broadcast on 12 Sept. Kimber was born in Aston, as were all my mum's family, hence my support of the club despite being bought up in Small Heath territory.
