TOMMY SHELBY’s famous catchphrase could soon take a boozy turn with last orders at the Peaky Blinders – with the show’s producers planning to launch a chain of themed pubs.
The firm behind the BBC drama plans to develop boozers and restaurants based on the world of the Brummie mobsters.
Caryn Mandabach Productions hopes to further cash in on the hit show’s international popularity with a range of aftershave and grooming products, clothing and even a chain of barber shops.
The period crime drama returns to screens for a sixth run this month.
A source said: “Peaky Blinders is huge these days. It’s a global smash. So it’s no surprise the makers want to try and cash in on that when they can.
“There are a couple of unofficial pubs out there already which the makers want to bring to heel.
“The Coyote Ugly film (about a gang of bar workers, released in 2000) spawned bars all over the world and Caryn knows Peaky Blinders could have that same appeal.”
The show, which is available on Netflix across the Pond, follows the lives of Tommy Shelby and his family of gangsters in 1900s Birmingham.

In season five, the clan seized more power than ever.
Cillian Murphy’s Tommy — fond of issuing commands “by order of the Peaky Blinders” — was elected as the MP for Birmingham South, before embarking on a collision course with real-life fascist leader Oswald Mosley.
Commercial chiefs have filed for trademarks to let them sell cosmetics, clothes, jewellery, food and drink as well as opening barber shops, pubs, bars and restaurants.
The papers have been lodged with the Intellectual Property Office.
If they are rubber-stamped, the firm — run by the show’s executive producer Caryn Mandabach — will have legal protection to use the terms to market goods and services for ten years.
That could prove handy if talks to create a Hollywood film based on the series come off.
Caryn and the show creator’s Steven Knight have revealed discussions about a film spin-off are underway.
She said: “There are many people in America that love Peaky Blinders and plenty of movie stars that want to be in the movie.
“We heard Julia Roberts wants to do it — but this is hearsay. I don’t really know for sure.”
Birmingham, Hollywood . . . world domination!
