Peaky Blinders was directed by Steven Knight and was broadcasted on BBC2 at 9pm. The series follows the life of a post-war family in 1919, in the industrial city Birmingham. I specifically focused on series 1 episode 2.
The text provides in-depth historical content, which specifically appeals and is suited to an Active Audience. This is shown within the scene where Cillian Murphy and Sam Neil are having a private conversation. Within the miss en scene, they are sat within an upper class hotel dining suite- with embroidered furniture and grand paintings. This signifies the upper class lifestyle after World War 1. Through dialogue, Cillian says "Why would i shake the hand of a man who didn't go and fight for his country?" The constant reference to the War is encoded to provide an Active Audience an educational gratification- from the Blumer and Katz Uses and Gratification Theory.
