Coming to the BBC in Autumn, Peaky Blinders stars Sam Neill, Cillian Murphy and Helen McRory. Created by Steven Knight, the six-part mini-series sporta an all star cast setting back in time and we've got the first set of character posters from the show. Check them out below.

Cillian Murphy is Thomas Shelby, leader of the most feared and powerful local gang, the Peaky Blinders. Named for their practise of sewing razor blades into the peaks of their caps, they make money from illegal betting, protection and the black market. But when a crate of guns goes missing from an arms factory, their battle-hardened leader recognises an opportunity to move up in the world.

As rival gangs, Communist revolutionaries and IRA Fenians descend on Small Heath in pursuit of the weapons; Winston Churchill despatches a ruthless police chief from Belfast (Sam Neill) to impose order on an increasingly lawless city and recover the guns.
