Brassic Calls it a Day with Influenced by Tarantino Last Episode
The creators Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are wrapping up on their humorous show about a tight-knit bunch of endearing rogues causing chaos in a countryside town in Lancashire. You might expect the last episode to be a nostalgic highlight reel of booze, drugs and cheeky thievery. However, the vibes are distinctly darker as the character Vinnie, played by Gilgun and the crew barricade themselves in a pub with criminal figure Davey MacDonagh for a final 50th installment seemingly influenced by the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino.

It’s been a long road.

The situation improves for the character Dave, who has a surprising new ally.

The Series The Iris Affair
9pm on Sky Atlantic
Anyone afraid of insects will want to fast-forward as the sixth episode starts, before something of a Mexican (or rather Sardinian) standoff occurs, when Cameron compels Iris to exchange her journal for the captured Joy – else she’ll be “shot repeatedly” from the threatening drone controlled by Meski … What escape plan can they devise?
