Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight says the show would never have been made without the BBC – but admits the broadcaster is known for its lean budgets.

“I don’t think I could have made ‘Peaky Blinders’ at all outside of the BBC,” Knight said during a House of Commons inquiry into the BBC’s future. “[‘Peaky Blinders’] falls into a category of ‘curious’ and not of the time or of the fashion of the time, and often — not always, but often — it’s the BBC that tends to take a chance on things like that.”
