Bleak Midwinter" as used by characters in the British TV series Peaky Blinders. The
study is motivated by the recurring presence of this phrase throughout the series and its

origins as the opening line of Christina Rossetti’s poem, later adapted into a well-

and to analyse how these meanings contribute to the thematic and character
development within the series. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, the study

interplay between language and media.
