Brassic Calls it a Day with Influenced by Tarantino Last Episode
The creators Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are wrapping up on their comedy series about a close-knit group of likable chancers running riot in a rural Lancashire town. You might expect the last episode to be a greatest hits victory lap of booze, drugs and cheeky thievery. But, the vibes are distinctly darker as Vinnie (Gilgun) and the gang hole up in a bar with gangster Davey MacDonagh for a climactic 50th episode apparently inspired by Quentin Tarantino.

9pm on BBC Three
Jazz hands at the ready: it’s time to stage Peter Pansy – The Rusical! That means the stress increases 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 renowned West End star Mazz Murray, together with the panel including Graham Norton, Michelle Visage, and RuPaul.
The Iris Affair
9pm on Sky Atlantic
Those with a phobia of creepy crawlies will want to fast-forward as the sixth episode starts, before something of a Mexican (or rather Sardinian) standoff ensues, when Cameron forces Iris to exchange her journal for the hostaged Joy – else she’ll be “shot repeatedly” from Meski’s menacing drone … What escape plan can they devise?
