Peaky Blinders fan does a double take after spotting her B&Q wallpaper on the 1920s show set The
A PEAKY Blinders fan had to double take when she spotted her B&Q wallpaper on the show set in the 1920s.
The Edwardian design appeared in the first episode of the new series during a violent scene.
Viewer Katie Louise noticed she had the exact design on the wall in the room she was watching the BBC1 drama.
Posting an amusing picture of the two designs next to each other, she said: “Didn’t know they had B&Q in the 1920s.”
She tweeted the DIY giant: “What’s happened here, like? Google says you weren’t established til 1969.”
The scene in the show set in post First World War Birmingham saw Irish actor Aidan Gillen’s character Aberama Gold burst through a wall and shoot a man dead.
He told the lifeless body: “Now you’ve heard of us.”
The latest series of the show about a family-run Birmingham gang starts in 1929.
Cillian Murphy’s character Tommy Shelby, the head of the clan, has become an MP whilst the rest of the family do his dirty business at home.

The wallpaper is believed to have been discontinued but a similar design will set buyers back £16-£20 a roll.
B&Q was founded by businessmen Richard Block and David Quayle in 1969.
A B&Q spokeswoman said: “This viewer’s had an absolute blinder - what a great spot! This wallpaper is available now... by order of B&Q click and collect”
'Utterly criminal'
VIEWERS branded the dodgy accent of a Glasgow villain played by 31-year-old Irish actor Brian Gleeson “utterly criminal”.
BBC Scotland presenter Martin Geissler wrote: “Most brutal act of violence in the whole of #PeakyBlinders is the all-out assault on the Scottish accent.”
