Brassic Calls it a Day with Tarantino-Inspired Finale
The creators Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are bringing the curtain down on their humorous show about a tight-knit bunch of endearing rogues running riot in a rural Lancashire town. One could anticipate the last episode to be a nostalgic highlight reel of alcohol, substances, and playful theft. But, the vibes are distinctly darker as the character Vinnie, played by Gilgun and the crew barricade themselves in a bar with criminal figure Davey MacDonagh for a climactic 50th episode apparently inspired by the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino.
The Show Dragons' Den

The Series All Creatures Great and Small

9pm, BBC Three
Prepare for enthusiastic gestures: it’s time to stage Peter Pansy – The Rusical!

And who better to guest judge than renowned West End star Mazz Murray, alongside Graham Norton, Michelle Visage and RuPaul.
The Iris Affair
9pm on 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 forces Iris to swap her diary for the captured Joy – else she’ll be “shot repeatedly” from the threatening drone controlled by Meski … What escape plan can they devise?
