Scenes are re-ordered so that when Tommy says “we’re going to the races” at the end of Ep 2, the next scene is the Peaky Blinders going to the races towards the end of Ep 3.Tried to reduce the rock music where possible, but was difficult due to the stereo audio.The reveal that Ada was in Freddy’s room is delayed to when Tommy & Campbell have their first meeting. The police raid is significantly cut down.I think one was sufficient to give an idea to his state of mind, and to explain why Danny Wizzbang goes crazy in the next scene. All but one of Tommy’s nightmare’s (the first one) are cut.In a later scene, Arthur recalls Campbell telling him things that he doesn’t say during the beating, so cutting it halfway implies the conversation took place off camera. This fixes a continuity error, as in the original scene the whole beating is shown, including Campbell finishing and beginning to leave. Campbell beating Arthur is ended mid-beating.Tommy/Grace romance is kept but reduced.Her reveal as an agent is delayed til the end, meaning all her secret meetings with Campbell (bar the last one) are cut. Grace’s introduction is delayed by cutting her first 2 scenes, so she first appears when singing in the pub.Campbell’s scenes at the police station are mostly cut until the end, and his dealings with Churchill are cut.
The focus of the film is on the Tommy & the Peaky Blinders gang. Polly, Freddy and Ada have all their scenes with one another (i.e.Danny being alive is only revealed near the end. His execution is kept but shortened and all dialogue is cut, as in this version, Danny is in on the mock execution. His first outburst (at the pub) is cut, his second outburst (at the Italian shop) is kept. Tightened a lot of “lingering” shots throughout, slow-mo walking etc.Don’t read if you don’t want to be heavily spoiled on Peaky Blinders S1, or on this edit: A lot of other minor scenes, subplots and filler are cut. Arthur's subplots (depression and his father) are cut. Main cuts made were reducing Ada/Freddy/Polly storylines, as well as showing less of Grace and Campbell in order to keep more mystery surrounding their characters. Quite a lot of cuts were made throughout. The focus of the film is on Tommy Shelby, the expansion of the Peaky Blinders gang, and its rivalries with Campbell’s police force, Billy Kimber’s Gang, and the Lee Gang, with the IRA and Freddy Thorne’s communists being secondary antagonists.
