The Comedy Series Brassic Ends Its Run with Tarantino-Inspired 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 rural Lancashire town. You might expect the finale to be a nostalgic highlight reel of alcohol, substances, and playful theft. However, the atmosphere turns much more somber as Vinnie (Gilgun) and the gang hole up in a bar with criminal figure Davey MacDonagh for a final 50th installment apparently inspired by Quentin Tarantino.

The Series The Iris Affair
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Those with a phobia of creepy crawlies will want to skip ahead as the sixth episode starts, before something of a Mexican (or rather Sardinian) standoff ensues, when Cameron compels 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?
