The Comedy Series Brassic Ends Its Run with Influenced by Tarantino Last Episode
The creators Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are bringing the curtain down on their comedy series about a tight-knit bunch of likable chancers running riot in a countryside town in Lancashire. One could anticipate the last episode to be a greatest hits victory lap of booze, drugs and cheeky thievery. But, the atmosphere turns much more somber as Vinnie (Gilgun) and the crew barricade themselves in a pub with criminal figure Davey MacDonagh for a climactic 50th episode seemingly influenced by Quentin Tarantino.

The Series All Creatures Great and Small

The Drama The Hack

It’s been a long road.

Jazz hands at the ready: it’s time to stage Peter Pansy – The Rusical! That means the pressure is on for the drag performers to sing, dance, act and ultimately slay as they get ready for the show. And who better to guest judge than West End stage legend Mazz Murray, alongside the panel including Graham Norton, Michelle Visage, and RuPaul.
The Series The Iris Affair
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Those with a phobia of creepy crawlies will want to skip ahead as episode six begins, before a tense standoff, reminiscent of a Mexican or Sardinian scenario ensues, when Cameron forces Iris to swap her diary for the hostaged Joy – else she’ll be “riddled with bullets” from Meski’s menacing drone … What escape plan can they devise?
