What running-time range is listed for Peaky Blinders episodes?

The listed running-time range for Peaky Blinders episodes is 55–83 minutes.

That range describes the BBC period crime drama as a whole, rather than suggesting that every episode has the same length. Most episodes run close to an hour, while some finales and extended installments occupy the longer end of the range. The series was created by Steven Knight and follows the Shelby family’s criminal organisation in Birmingham.

The show premiered in 2013 and ultimately consists of six series and 36 episodes. It began on BBC Two before moving to BBC One for series 5 and 6. A common mix-up is confusing the programme’s episode runtime with the length of a particular broadcast slot, since scheduling may include trailers, continuity announcements, or advertising.

The format also changed in scale as the story expanded from postwar Birmingham into national politics, international crime, and the financial turmoil of 1929. That broader production scope helps explain why the episodes do not all share one fixed duration.
