Steven Knight made his BAFTA and Oscar-nominated feature debut with crime thriller Dirty Pretty Things. He followed this with historical drama Amazing Grace, and the David Cronenberg-directed gangster tale Eastern Promises. As co-creator of TV gameshow Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Knight recently returned to the medium with hit drama series Peaky Blinders. His feature directing debut Hummingbird was followed by the original and gripping drama Locke, starring Tom Hardy.

In the closing lecture of the 2014 series, Knight speaks to Briony Hanson about screenplay structure, his move from TV gameshows into feature film scripts, and a possible ending for Peaky Blinders.

Recorded at the BFI Southbank on Monday 29 September 2014.
