Every season of Peaky Blinders brings a new foe for Tommy Shelby.

In the first series, it was police detective Chester Campbell, then Father John Hughes, played by Paddy Consodine, Tom Hardy's character Alfie Solomons and Luca Changretta, played by Adrien Brody, in series four.

Already, speculation is rife about who Cillian Murphy's character will fall out with next.

And, speaking to Birmingham Live, writer Steven Knight admitted his next foe would be a politician.

However, he said it would not be Winston Churchill - indeed, they will likely be on the same wide of the war.

When asked if his next foe will be a politician, Knight said: "Yes, but it is not Churchill. I like him too much.

He confirmed there was likely to be seven seasons of the hit BBC show.

He also said it would not be heading to America, adding: "I think it would lose its soul."

Knight is currently writing series five of the show, set in Birmingham.
