Tom Hardy in Peaky Blinders – exclusive first look video

Only one thing was missing from Thursday's high-action opening episode: the appearance of new cast member Tom Hardy, who joins the show next week. See him in action as Camden gangster Alfie Solomons, whose 'bakery' appears to be producing something else entirely. Peaky Blinders continues Thursdays, 9pm, BBC2 with catch-up on iPlayer
