We're two episodes into the sixth and final season of Peaky Blinders and it seems that things are already hotting up for Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), with threats from fascists, freedom fighters and family alike.
However, this week it also seems it might be Tommy's sister Ada Thorne (Sophie Rundle) who's in trouble, as new pictures reveal a tense encounter with the fascist Sir Oswald Mosley (Sam Claflin) and his lover, the calculating Lady Diana Mitford (Amber Anderson).
In the pictures, the three can be seen engaging in what seems to be a less than relaxing get-together, with the fascist couple glaring at the only Shelby sister.

The episode is set to see Ada "take charge" in Birmingham, but we'll have to wait until Sunday to see exactly how that will play out.
The Shelbys' latest foe Diana first appeared in episode 2 of this season, as did another newcomer – James Frecheville, playing Jack Nelson.
The previous instalment saw Tommy Shelby promise to set up a meeting between Gina Gray's "Uncle Jack" and the fascist politicians in England with whom he shares similar political leanings.

How much will Nelson find in common with Mosley and Mitford? Or could the trap that Tommy has laid for the group work against this unholy alliance?
Meanwhile, there is another new arrival set to debut in the upcoming episode, which is titled Gold.
