These seven brief lines capture the authority, nerve and family tensions that define Peaky Blinders. They are an editorial selection, not an official fan ranking. The catchphrase is documented by Netflix; the other dialogue and attributions below come from a secondary quote compilation and should be treated as such.
The line that became the gang’s signature
1. “By order of the Peaky Blinders!”
Associated with: Thomas Shelby and the gang. Why it stays with fans: The phrase turns a threat into a proclamation of authority. Creator Steven Knight said it came to him while writing the pilot: “It just came to me in that moment.” Netflix Tudum reports that the line is spoken ten times across the show’s six seasons. Knight’s favorite use is in Series 2, Episode 1, when Arthur tells the Eden Club’s patrons it is “under new management.” Netflix Tudum
