UPDATED MAR 8, 2019

The fifth season of 'Peaky Binders' is set to premiere soon and before we return to the world of Thomas Shelby and his 'Peaky Blinders' family, here's a look at some of the most memorable firsts on the show. From Cillian Murphy appearing as Thomas Shelby for the first time, his meeting Grace for the first time or when the brothers gouged out their enemy's eyes together - there's a lot that we can talk about. 

1. Thomas Shelby's first scene

The first time we saw Cillian Murphy as Thomas Shelby in 'Peaky Blinders' was when he rode on horseback and we got a look at him from behind. People all around were running away from the streets leaving a deserted path for Tommy to pass through. Hidden behind doors and windows, kids took a peek at him. A girl who read fortunes was then brought to him and she cast a spell on his horse. A man who is seeing all of from his hiding spot, tells the kids around him "They're doing a magic spell to make it (horse) win a race." Tommy knows people are watching and so he says, "The horse's name is Monaghan Boy. Kempton. 3 o' clock. Monday. You ladies have a bet yourselves but don't tell anyone else."
