Peaky Blinders fans can’t get enough of Arthur Shelby’s epic showdown against the Titanics

Peaky Blinders fans across the country were cheering on Arthur Shelby (Paul Anderson) after one of the most epic fights in the show’s history.

Season five went all out when Arthur and his gang went to collect the seven tonnes of opium promised to them by the Chinese – only to be met with an ambush by the Titanics.

With Brilliant Chang (Andrew Koji) beaten and left for dead in a corner, it was up to Arthur, Aberama Gold (Aidan Gillen), Isiah (Daryl McCormack), Charlie Strong (Ned Dennehy), Curley (Ian Peck) to take them down.

Rather than unite, Arthur grabbed his Tommy gun during the retreat, and told the other members: ‘In the war they were very capable. Very capable soldiers.

‘But so was I. I was a f***ing capable soldier too.’

And with that he ran out of the room and managed to take them all down by himself, using his unrelenting anger to fire into the sky and the rooms above, seemingly killing them all.

Viewers couldn’t help but cheer for the character’s bold move to get what belongs to them and were over the moon to see him back at his best.

However, all is not well with Arthur, with him seemingly getting a death wish after wife Linda (Kate Philips) tried and failed to shoot him last week.

Shot in the arm by Polly, both Linda and Arthur made it out of the scrap alive – but Linda made it clear she was leaving Arthur for good.

What’s more, is that Arthur was kind of ready to check out and was ready to be shot.

Is he going to end this series doing something stupid that the rest of the family will have to live with the consequences of?

His irrational and dangerous behaviour has not gone unnoticed by those around him, with Isiah and Aberama in particular worrying about their boss’s mental state.
