0:00:04 > 0:00:06I just got served a black hand.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08Everybody will have got one. They're coming for us all.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11These men will not leave our city until our whole family is dead.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14This was all my fault. It was me that shot the old man. John's dead because of me.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17Within a four-mile radius of the Garrison, every man is a guard and a soldier for us.

0:00:17 > 0:00:21We're going back, back to Small Heath. That's how it works.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23An eye for an eye. It's called a vendetta.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26We are an organization...

0:00:26 > 0:00:27run different, I imagine.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29None of you will survive.

0:00:29 > 0:00:34And how is Tommy Shelby OBE going to stop a revolution?

0:00:34 > 0:00:35If I get Jessie Eden's trust,

0:00:35 > 0:00:39she gives me the names of the instigators, and I give them up to the Crown forces.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42I want you to help my son achieve his ambition.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44You're a Peaky Blinder now, son.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46We control him on the book, control the odds.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48We've got a lot going on though, Tom.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50That's why it'll be good to have the kid around.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Mr Shelby will give you a 20% cut

0:00:52 > 0:00:54if you put Goliath down in the fourth round.

0:00:54 > 0:00:59So you're going to take my boys, and you're going to bring them to the ring as seconds?

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Yeah, Tommy Shelby was right about you, wasn't he?

0:01:21 > 0:01:27# Take a walk to the edge of town and go across the tracks

0:01:30 > 0:01:35# Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom

0:01:35 > 0:01:40# As it shifts and cracks

0:01:40 > 0:01:45# Where secrets lie in the border fires

0:01:45 > 0:01:48# In the humming wires

0:01:48 > 0:01:51# Hey, man, you're never coming back

0:01:51 > 0:01:57# Past the square, past the bridge Past the mills, past the stacks

0:02:00 > 0:02:05# On a gathering storm comes a tall, handsome man

0:02:05 > 0:02:11# In a dusty, black coat with a red right hand

0:02:15 > 0:02:18# Red right hand

0:02:20 > 0:02:24# The red right hand. #

0:02:28 > 0:02:36CROWD CHEERS AND SHOUTS

0:02:44 > 0:02:46GASPING

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Yeah, you're like me, Tommy.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52You can't bear to watch a fight which has got rules.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Tommy, imagine...

0:02:59 > 0:03:04imagine that you could not see at all,

0:03:04 > 0:03:06you was born blind.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Then, one day,

0:03:09 > 0:03:11you open up your eyes

0:03:11 > 0:03:17and you can see everything in the world...

0:03:18 > 0:03:23..when before you could only touch it or smell it.

0:03:25 > 0:03:30There it is - the revelation, innit?

0:03:34 > 0:03:35I've had one.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Yeah, I saw a beautiful house down in Margate.

0:03:40 > 0:03:46A great big white building. Monkey puzzle tree against the sky blue.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Beautiful. A piece of heaven, actually.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54You can see the way the Earth curves, and I thought to myself,

0:03:54 > 0:04:01Alfie, you know, what...what are you doing? What are you doing?

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Why don't you just sell every ounce of gold

0:04:04 > 0:04:08and sell every barrel of rum you got and just buy yourself some time, mate?

0:04:11 > 0:04:14I need to buy myself some time.

0:04:16 > 0:04:17You're moving to Margate?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20I am, actually, yeah. I need to get myself some rest.

0:04:20 > 0:04:21I need some rest.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Plus, the Americans are here now, aren't they?

0:04:25 > 0:04:28So, well, that's it, yeah.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31It's been that way ever since the war, innit, the Americans?

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Big fucks small...

0:04:38 > 0:04:39..always, actually.

0:04:42 > 0:04:47There is a fight going on out there between big and small.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Big will fuck small.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Right! Margate, then. Blue skies, heaven.

0:05:06 > 0:05:11I will see you, Tommy, by the pier.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Stay and watch the fight, Alfie.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23No, you're all right. I already know who wins, don't I?

0:05:32 > 0:05:33Ta-ra!

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- BELL RINGS - Round one.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43I know he's a big bastard, but you got to...

0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Where's Solomons? - Apparently he doesn't watch.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Look at that corner, look. The men there, they don't know fighters.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54I don't like it... You feel it though, Tom, don't you?

0:06:54 > 0:06:58I feel it. We're all right. We're surrounded by soldiers, Arthur.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Alfie's men were strip-searched, we're all right.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Right, come on, gypsy boy, let's go.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30So what did Tommy say when you told him?

0:07:31 > 0:07:33He said I'll get a weekly allowance.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Oh, he can be romantic.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42Of course, as company treasurer, I shall be questioning that expense.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45He said something like, "We've had enough death, let's have some life."

0:07:45 > 0:07:50Pol, this fight is fixed, isn't it?

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Well, gypsy boy's getting battered out there.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14How far gone are you?

0:08:14 > 0:08:16If I were going to London I'd be in Coventry.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18And are you carrying on past Coventry?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20All the way to fucking Piccadilly Circus.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26RINGING

0:21:28 > 0:21:32Hello, Michael. There's been a change of plan.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Mr Gold will come and get you.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Arthur's dead.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Tommy, I've been trying to think of words.

0:22:05 > 0:22:06Don't.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Words don't work.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16Michael, we're in a grave situation. Tommy has a plan.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21Instead of going to Australia, you're going to New York.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Why?

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Because the company has business to attend to in America.

0:22:34 > 0:22:35Will I be coming back?

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Your train leaves in an hour, Michael.

0:22:45 > 0:22:46You made a choice.

0:22:48 > 0:22:54You knew I was going to be shot and you chose not to tell me.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57I chose my mum.

0:23:00 > 0:23:05When all this business is over we'll all be free to make our own choices.

0:23:10 > 0:23:11So that's it?

0:23:15 > 0:23:19You get the train to Liverpool then the SS Monroe.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22The boat sails tomorrow.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Now you can go.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24I need an overseas connection, please.

0:24:24 > 0:24:25USA.

0:24:57 > 0:24:58Tommy!

0:24:58 > 0:25:00It's all right, let her come!

0:25:10 > 0:25:13Please...until we're finished.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36Your note talked about making terms for peace.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39But my son says there are no terms.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44You took my husband and my son.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47We took two of your brothers.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52The vendetta is done.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55We say the vendetta is won.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59We will take everything you have.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02All your businesses, signed over to us.

0:26:04 > 0:26:10You agree to this or my son will kill you all.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12One by one.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17The vendetta is won. That's it.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21No more killing.

0:26:23 > 0:26:28Who did you think you were, Mr Shelby?

0:26:33 > 0:26:37BANGING

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Make sure he knows we're here to buy his business!

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Mr Solomons!

0:27:00 > 0:27:03Mr Changretta is here to see you.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23They say he was a captain.

0:27:23 > 0:27:28Ah. I think you might want to tell them not to open that fucking door.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43It seems Mr Solomons has already left town.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46So all this is mine.

0:28:21 > 0:28:22You don't knock?

0:28:22 > 0:28:24You don't know my new address?

0:28:24 > 0:28:26Hello, Lizzie, how are you?

0:28:26 > 0:28:27I know your new address, Lizzie,

0:28:27 > 0:28:29because it was me who bought you the new fucking house.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31Then why don't you visit it?

0:28:45 > 0:28:46I've been busy.

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Busy doing what?

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Preparing for tomorrow.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Why? What's tomorrow?

0:28:58 > 0:29:02Luca Changretta is coming to Birmingham. It's our turn.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05He's already taken over Alfie Solomons, Sabini, the Titanics.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07All of them.

0:29:09 > 0:29:12And now he's coming to take control of Shelby Company Limited.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17What are we going to do about that?

0:29:19 > 0:29:20We're going to let him have it.

0:30:21 > 0:30:26All that's left of the Peaky fucking Blinders.

0:30:47 > 0:30:51I've had my lawyer draw up these papers.

0:30:53 > 0:30:57They cover, er, every enterprise in your possession.

0:30:59 > 0:31:03Bars, restaurants, warehouses...

0:31:05 > 0:31:07..every fucking thing that you've

0:31:07 > 0:31:11taken all these years to gather together.

0:31:14 > 0:31:19You will sign them all over to my family.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26Or you're going to die, right here.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37I would have buried you all.

0:31:40 > 0:31:43But my mother, she, er, she knows you.

0:31:43 > 0:31:48She said it'll be worse for you

0:31:48 > 0:31:50if I let you live...

0:31:52 > 0:31:54..and take away everything that you have.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Search 'em...

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Especially don't trust this bitch.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42So...

0:32:45 > 0:32:46Sign.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49Every fucking one of 'em.

0:32:55 > 0:32:59You can sign them on your knees...

0:32:59 > 0:33:01on the floor.

0:33:11 > 0:33:15Get on your fucking knees and sign!

0:33:19 > 0:33:22As a friend of mine once said...

0:33:24 > 0:33:26..big fucks small.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30So I had to find someone bigger than you.

0:33:30 > 0:33:34Now, you may know there are two families in Brooklyn who want

0:33:34 > 0:33:37to take over your monopoly on the import of liquor into New York.

0:33:37 > 0:33:41But if they moved against you in New York they'll start

0:33:41 > 0:33:43a war between the families.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48But if you were to die in a vendetta

0:33:48 > 0:33:51with some fucking bookmaker in Birmingham,

0:33:51 > 0:33:54they could take over your business without a war...

0:33:56 > 0:33:59We also contacted a businessman in Chicago.

0:34:03 > 0:34:08He's also interested in moving into the liquor business in New York.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11His name is Alphonse Capone.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16You been talking to that fat fuck?

0:34:16 > 0:34:19See, all the blood relatives you brought with

0:34:19 > 0:34:23you from New York, they're all dead, Mr Changretta.

0:34:23 > 0:34:28And these men here, they work for money, for the highest bidder.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30They now have new orders.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34Is that right?

0:34:38 > 0:34:40Is that right?

0:34:43 > 0:34:45Daniel?

0:34:45 > 0:34:46Matteo?

0:35:02 > 0:35:03Hey...

0:35:04 > 0:35:06Very fucking...

0:35:12 > 0:35:15GROANING

0:35:41 > 0:35:45Arthur's been injured but he's all right, Pol.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50We need to make them believe that he's dead...

0:35:52 > 0:35:56..to everyone but you, me and Linda...

0:35:56 > 0:35:59Arthur Shelby is dead.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03I've got it all worked out.

0:36:03 > 0:36:07We can use his death to win this war.

0:36:18 > 0:36:23Tell your people in Chicago that Michael Gray will sign

0:36:23 > 0:36:26the import licence to New York.

0:36:26 > 0:36:30300 barrels of English Dry Gin a month.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33Leave! All of you.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39Tell your boss what you saw here today.

0:36:39 > 0:36:40And tell him...

0:36:43 > 0:36:47..you don't fuck with the Peaky Blinders.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13Right. Oi! Listen up.

0:37:13 > 0:37:17Before we all go and eat, I'd like to say a few words.

0:37:19 > 0:37:24The last time we were all here, it ended badly.

0:37:24 > 0:37:25Yeah.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28But now we're in a happier place.

0:37:30 > 0:37:31That's it.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34I'd just like to raise a toast...

0:37:34 > 0:37:36Hold on.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39A few words I'd like to say from the heart,

0:37:39 > 0:37:43and this time you're going to let me finish, Tommy.

0:37:44 > 0:37:49Now as you all know, Arthur Shelby is dead.

0:37:51 > 0:37:55Because of that, Tommy's offered me a way out.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58A new identity.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01Start a whole new life for myself.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04And I've thought about it.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08Made a decision.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14I ain't fucking going nowhere.

0:38:17 > 0:38:21Our enemies are gone. Dead, all of 'em.

0:38:23 > 0:38:29For the first time since me and my two kid brothers...

0:38:29 > 0:38:32Tommy and John...

0:38:34 > 0:38:40..enlisted in the Warwickshire Yeomanry, we have peace.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47So, I think I'd like to make a proposal.

0:38:49 > 0:38:54All of you, the Shelby Company Limited, insist that Tommy

0:38:54 > 0:38:57here takes some time off.

0:38:58 > 0:39:03It's time you took a holiday, Tom. Put your feet up.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07War is over. No-one wants to kill us.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11To peace.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13To peace.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43I do hope you're going to leave the dog out of this?

0:39:43 > 0:39:45You were easy to find.

0:39:45 > 0:39:48Yeah. There's a good reason for that, Tommy.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50I wanted it to be here.

0:39:54 > 0:39:59I once told you, Alfie, for business reasons or in bad blood,

0:39:59 > 0:40:01I will kill you.

0:40:03 > 0:40:08I have no business reasons. It seems you have retired.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12So this is all purely for bad blood, is it, Tommy?

0:40:12 > 0:40:14- Yeah.- Right, yeah.

0:40:14 > 0:40:18I told you I wanted it to be here.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21Are you going to look after this dog?

0:40:21 > 0:40:24- No.- Right, then. Well, his name is Cyril.

0:40:24 > 0:40:28He'll be very upset and distressed, so you'll need to find him someone.

0:40:29 > 0:40:30You're not armed?

0:40:30 > 0:40:32No! Don't be daft.

0:40:33 > 0:40:37The only thing I've got on me...

0:40:37 > 0:40:39is fucking cancer, mate.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45Yeah.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48Riddled with it.

0:40:48 > 0:40:49Doctor told me

0:40:49 > 0:40:52I might have picked it up in France in a gas or something.

0:40:52 > 0:40:56- He even showed me a photograph of it, before I met you at the fight. - Alfie, stop talking.

0:40:56 > 0:41:00- So I said, Margate, right, and here I am. Come on, Tommy. - Alfie, look at me.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02There's an honourable reason now to pull that trigger.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Alfie, look at me.- So what you waiting for?

0:41:04 > 0:41:07Just fucking get on with it, and stop acting like a little girl.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09- Alfie!- Do you want me to do it for you?

0:42:46 > 0:42:53# I jumped in the river, what did I see?

0:42:55 > 0:43:01# Black-eyed angels swam with me... #

0:43:01 > 0:43:03EXPLOSION

0:43:05 > 0:43:10# A moon full of stars and astral cars

0:43:10 > 0:43:12DOGS BARKING, SHOUTING, GUNSHOTS

0:43:14 > 0:43:19# And all the figures I used to see

0:43:23 > 0:43:31# All my lovers were there with me

0:43:31 > 0:43:39# And all my past and futures... #

0:43:39 > 0:43:40- ECHOING:- Mr Shelby?

0:43:40 > 0:43:43# And we all went to heaven in a little row boat... #

0:43:43 > 0:43:44Mr Shelby?

0:43:47 > 0:43:49Mr Shelby?

0:43:51 > 0:43:55# There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt... #

0:43:59 > 0:44:01Mr Shelby, you are not yourself, I should call a doctor.

0:44:06 > 0:44:07It's all right, Frances.

0:44:09 > 0:44:10I'll call Mrs Grey.

0:44:12 > 0:44:14I know what this is.

0:44:15 > 0:44:18It's just myself talking to myself about myself.

0:44:22 > 0:44:24Right... Thank you.

0:44:36 > 0:44:44# I jumped into the river

0:44:44 > 0:44:51# Black-eyed angels swam with me

0:44:54 > 0:45:01# A room full of figures and astral cars

0:45:01 > 0:45:07# And all the figures I used to see... #

0:45:30 > 0:45:32Charlie...

0:46:08 > 0:46:09HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:46:12 > 0:46:14Since I know you won't go yourself,

0:46:14 > 0:46:17I've been to a doctor on your behalf.

0:46:18 > 0:46:21No, it's all right. None of the boys know you're sick.

0:46:25 > 0:46:27I'm not sick, Polly.

0:46:33 > 0:46:36It starts when you stop. When you rest.

0:46:38 > 0:46:42Could be nerves, the war.

0:46:45 > 0:46:47Might be the alcohol.

0:46:47 > 0:46:48The blue devils, they call that.

0:46:48 > 0:46:51Yeah, well. Yeah. Yeah, it's the fucking booze.

0:46:52 > 0:46:55It's the booze, the booze got hold and the booze got in my bones.

0:47:00 > 0:47:01Lizzie wants to see you.

0:47:01 > 0:47:03No...

0:47:03 > 0:47:04Tom, she's showing.

0:47:04 > 0:47:06I don't want to see Lizzie, Pol.

0:47:13 > 0:47:15Shit, maybe it's in us?

0:47:18 > 0:47:19It's us Shelbys.

0:47:22 > 0:47:24It's in our gypsy blood.

0:47:26 > 0:47:28We live somewhere between life and death.

0:47:30 > 0:47:32Waiting to move on.

0:47:34 > 0:47:38And in the end...we accept it.

0:47:41 > 0:47:46We shake hands with the devils and we walk past them.

0:48:42 > 0:48:44Mr Shelby, you're meant to be resting.

0:48:46 > 0:48:48I have learnt something, Frances.

0:48:50 > 0:48:53There is no rest for me in this world.

0:48:57 > 0:48:58Perhaps in the next.

0:49:07 > 0:49:10Them there you pay out. This one you have to think.

0:49:10 > 0:49:13Use your fucking head, man. Right, even money...

0:49:13 > 0:49:15Whose fucking idea was it that I go on holiday?

0:49:15 > 0:49:18Welcome back, Tommy. How was it?

0:49:18 > 0:49:19What did you get up to?

0:49:19 > 0:49:20Went fishing. Played golf.

0:49:20 > 0:49:21Golf's fucking boring.

0:49:21 > 0:49:22Yeah, boring and easy.

0:49:22 > 0:49:25Yeah, well, what's the plan?

0:49:29 > 0:49:33I need you to give this to Jesse Eden, by hand.

0:49:33 > 0:49:34Yes, Mr Shelby.

0:49:34 > 0:49:39By your hand. This will be the last job you'll do for me.

0:49:39 > 0:49:42Go to Glasgow and be with your family. You're free.

0:49:55 > 0:49:57You need to sign all of these.

0:50:07 > 0:50:09So you shook hands with the devil?

0:50:13 > 0:50:17Yeah, and I walked past him.

0:50:24 > 0:50:25Pol.

0:50:27 > 0:50:28I've had an idea.

0:50:29 > 0:50:31Oh, fuck.

0:50:38 > 0:50:41"Dear Jessie. Now more certainly than ever

0:50:41 > 0:50:43"I believe things must change.

0:50:43 > 0:50:46"Things MUST change.

0:50:46 > 0:50:49"The general strike is holding, we've not an hour to lose.

0:50:50 > 0:50:51"Meet me."

0:51:03 > 0:51:05- I've made up my mind, Jessie. - About what?

0:51:10 > 0:51:13Your cause is now my cause. I want to help.

0:51:15 > 0:51:16The strike is holding.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18I want to meet the people who can take this further.

0:51:20 > 0:51:22Are you serious?

0:51:22 > 0:51:25Yeah, I've done a lot of thinking.

0:51:26 > 0:51:29Right. I'll arrange a meeting.

0:51:29 > 0:51:32The operator knows my voice. Give me the name and the number.

0:51:40 > 0:51:41His name is Casey Douglas.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45Sparkhill 453.

0:51:45 > 0:51:46Right.

0:51:52 > 0:51:53And he's the leader of the cell?

0:51:57 > 0:51:59He's in contact with London and Moscow.

0:52:02 > 0:52:03Good.

0:52:07 > 0:52:09Yeah, Sparkhill 453.

0:53:12 > 0:53:14You are quite a creature, Mr Shelby.

0:53:16 > 0:53:20When I received your note, I wasn't sure you could deliver.

0:53:25 > 0:53:28I have made contact with

0:53:28 > 0:53:31the Soviet agent inside the Birmingham Communist Party.

0:53:33 > 0:53:35And you have a name?

0:53:35 > 0:53:38And an address and a telephone number.

0:53:43 > 0:53:44I can be of great use to you.

0:53:46 > 0:53:50I can give you the names of any Communist Party member who is

0:53:50 > 0:53:53prepared to cross the line into armed revolution.

0:53:53 > 0:53:56We are in the fourth day of a general strike which appears

0:53:56 > 0:53:57to be holding.

0:53:58 > 0:54:01Even if it fails today...

0:54:01 > 0:54:03tomorrow, they may succeed.

0:54:04 > 0:54:05Mm.

0:54:08 > 0:54:12And you're offering to help ensure they never succeed.

0:54:12 > 0:54:14If my cover is maintained...

0:54:16 > 0:54:19..I can begin to shape the movement, organise it myself...

0:54:20 > 0:54:22And undermine it.

0:54:22 > 0:54:25Rise through the ranks of the wider socialist movement.

0:54:28 > 0:54:33But, of course, you want something in return. What this time?

0:54:33 > 0:54:35A knighthood?

0:54:39 > 0:54:40My proposal.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43And my conditions.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49For the attention of Winston Churchill.

0:54:49 > 0:54:51He holds me in very high regard.

0:54:59 > 0:55:01Are you serious?

0:55:02 > 0:55:05Breaking up a revolutionary cell is one thing.

0:55:05 > 0:55:08Given my position of influence in my home city,

0:55:08 > 0:55:10I can be of much more use to you than that.

0:55:15 > 0:55:18# Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?

0:55:21 > 0:55:25# And where have you been, my darling young one?

0:55:28 > 0:55:32# I've stumbled down the side of 12 misty mountains

0:55:34 > 0:55:38# I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways

0:55:40 > 0:55:45# I've been 10,000 miles in the mouth of a graveyard

0:55:47 > 0:55:54# And it's a hard, it's hard, and it's hard, and it's a hard

0:55:54 > 0:56:00# It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall... #

0:56:00 > 0:56:04Ronald Carr, Conservative, 3,412

0:56:04 > 0:56:08Bernard Hall, Liberal, 4,015.

0:56:08 > 0:56:12Michael Ross, Communist, 6,406.

0:56:12 > 0:56:17Thomas Shelby, Labour Party, 48,564.

0:56:17 > 0:56:18ECHOING CHEERS

0:56:22 > 0:56:25I now declare Thomas Shelby to be the new

0:56:25 > 0:56:28Labour Member of Parliament for the constituency of Birmingham South.

0:56:30 > 0:56:34# I saw 10,000 talkers whose tongues were all broken

0:56:36 > 0:56:43# It's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard

0:56:43 > 0:56:49# And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. #

0:57:14 > 0:57:18# On a gathering storm comes a tall, handsome man

0:57:18 > 0:57:23# In a dusty, black coat with a red right hand... #
