BBC weighs in on a popular Peaky Blinders fan theory

Did you notice this?

As always, if you're not up to date with the most recent episode of Peaky Blinders then consider this to be your spoiler alert. Again, look away now.                 With such an action-packed episode that ended on a superb cliffhanger, it's very likely that Peaky Blinders fans didn't take every little detail in. We all saw the following; Arthur's clash with the Mafia at the factory, Tommy's past as a potential communist emerging, Michael reuniting with his adopted mother, Tommy rekindling his relationships with Lizzie and a very interesting glimpse at his past relationships. All this without mentioning that brilliant scene between Tommy and Jessie Eden. Truth be told, there was loads to take in but eagle-eyed Peaky Blinders fans thought they spotted something else, the return of an infamous character, Inspector Campbell. As we know, Sam Neill's malevolent character met his maker at the end of Season2 when Aunt Polly cornered him at Epsom and shot him in the heart. Well, cast your mind back to the most recent episode and the scene where Linda - and her Japanese silk gown - visits Arthur at the office. Just as the couple is about to get 'familiar', Arthur closes the blinds but some Peaky Blinders fans think they spotted Inspector Campbell lurking in the area.

Well, we all thought that he died at the end of Season 1 but this time around, he's definitely gone. Still though, what a character! https://twitter.com/BBCTwo/status/936560314778374145
