Such was the attention to detail on the show that actors were required to perform a perfect native Birmingham accent in auditions if they were to be considered for a role. If the accent was not deemed up to scratch then regardless of an actor's status they were deemed surplus to requirements by the show’s producers. Star of Poldark, Elena Thomlinson, found out first hand how difficult it was to impress Peaky Blinders’ casting directors as her accent was deemed unsatisfactory and she was rejected from starring in the show. Thomlinson has said of her audition for Peaky Blinders: “I auditioned for Peaky Blinders when it was first starting, but they said, ‘You need to be able to do a Birmingham accent’, I tried and they said ‘You just can’t do it can you love?’” Ouch.
