Charlene McKenna on Peaky Blinders' final series

Amongst all the emotion & buzz, we managed to catch up with Charlene McKenna, Peaky's most mysterious character Captain Swing

‘...“...I remember going in for my first wardrobe fitting etc. The 2nd AD Arizona took me to set to say Hi to everyone. She was like, "wait, you know more people than I do", haha. There's quite a large Irish community on Peaky, and I knew all of them. I'd also worked with Cillian 17 years previously, and (as we'd say back home) he gave me a great faílte (welcome), so it felt quite homely and very welcoming.”

...“...one thing that stood out when filming was Sam Claflin's transformation from Sam to Oswald. In a second, he went from affable, funny, sweet, singing, telling great stories to the awful bone-chilling man that is Mosley...”

You've worked with Cillian Murphy prior to Peaky Blinders in Breakfast on Pluto; what was it like reuniting with him on the show, and did you share any nostalgia about your previous experiences working together?

“Aw, yes, we did a little. It was so lovely to see him again. That film was only my second ever professional job and my first ever film, so I was really scared. As always, Cillian was so nice to me. We had great laughs on it, and when we reunited, we mostly talked about ageing, haha.”...’

Anyone notice that when Captain Swing was singing, Diana noticed Tommy standing off in the wing watching and listening. 

He only breaks into the room, when Swing begins to sing the same song that Grace sang him when she warned him “it’ll break your heart” and he had responded, “already broken”.

I don’t think Tommy will have his “family” at the end. I think since they want to blow all bridges, and it’s his downfall and remember his downfall is biased on certainty that he only has from family. And since Lizzie + the kids are his bridge atm. Like Linda is Arthur’s. I think towards the end he will lose everything. While is daughter will obviously survive I don’t think they will be there.. I mean as they said he isn’t supposed to be happy. Sk said his kids are his reason to live. Now he won’t die but he won’t win. He won’t be able to kill Mosley, since they don’t kill of real historical people (like sabini) and he won’t stop the message (facism), I think towards the end everything will break piece by piece. And since he wasn’t allowed to have his happy family with grace and as SK said she was the one for him, and she died because he isn’t supposed to have it and only come close. He won’t have it now. While I do see him being a better dad and trying hard for his family. I think this bridge will blow and to rebuild it at the end would be stupid. I also saw a lil spoiler🤫 that might “proof” that..

Hello! I have no idea if it is related to anything I've said, so sorry for the inaccuracy of my answer if it was a response to some post I've made!

To be completely honest, I'm really not sure where the end of the show will lead us. I agree that Tommy's visceral mission to kill the message of fascism will sadly obviously fail, because we all know what happens next and it'd be a mission that would have needed to have influence in many other countries in Europe, which Tommy doesn't necessarily have. The mission he has set for himself is unattainable and I think he partly knows it deep inside, but he is unable to let it play out in front of himself and viscerally needs to do something about it to keep being able to look at himself in a mirror. For his family. For his children. As his discussion with Churchill in S5 told, it's the planted seeds for a looming war that he sees in Mosley's message.

I don't know to which extent they'll respect the chronology concerning Mosley but without bringing him down, there was a confrontation in 1936 that I guess tarnished his public image: The Battle of Cable Street. I don't think they'll do another time jump (except maybe at the very end) or maybe they'll just squeeze a few years together, because they're already talking about Mosley's wedding with Diana Mitford and it happens in 1936 too. This confrontation was between black shirts, and antifascists (communists, Jewish activists and Irish nationalist leftists). With the re-introduction of Alfie in business and the IRA hovering around with Laura McKee, it's a possibility I guess.

I don't think Tommy will be completely alone by the end. Maybe I'm wrong and/or deluded, but I see no reasons (at the moment) for Lizzie, the children, Ada, Arthur, Finn all taking their distances with him. I think the end will be bittersweet but for some reason, I want to think it's because he'll fail and not because he'll lose all his family.

With the rise of globalisation, Tommy's main problem is the man he can't defeat doesn't exist. They're multiple. They're organisations, political parties, governments with complex, secret, intersecting and conflicting interests. It surpasses the incarnation of the enemy in one man or very small groups of people like it was until S4. He killed Billy Kimber and everything stopped, he won. He ruined Sabini's business, ordered the killing of Father Hughes and fucked over the Russians, he killed Changretta, and all of it stopped. That's something I think Tatiana got right in S3: "If you don't like something, you say stop, and it stops". And there is no such stop to the beast Mosley fattens with his hate speeches.

So, to conclude, I think he'll fail with his "mission", but it won't take everyone away from his life. I may be totally in the wrong and that’d be fine, because I also like being surprised by what I watch :)
