The Comedy Series Brassic Calls it a Day with Tarantino-Inspired Last Episode
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 countryside town in Lancashire. You might expect the finale 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 pub with gangster Davey MacDonagh for a climactic 50th episode seemingly influenced by Quentin Tarantino.
The Show Dragons' Den
8pm on BBC One
Ballet dancers leap into the den this week, as mothers Laura and Stacey pitch their range of adaptive dance attire – and send Peter Jones into a spin. Then, an eye surgeon turned inventor has a smart device for lost tape ends.
All Creatures Great and Small
9pm on Channel 5
The veterinary adventures are all fine, but this superior period drama earns its corn with emotional character development. A particularly affecting episode weaves the stories of a lame shire horse and a vanished calf into a more serious storyline centring on the character Tristan, whose actions lead to a fraternal intervention.
The Hack
9pm, ITV1
It’s been a long road. But the second-to-last episode of this at first slow-moving but eventually gripping phone-hacking drama sees David Tennant’s Nick discovering details about the News of the World’s conduct that the rest of the media simply are forced to acknowledge. The situation improves for the character Dave, who has a unexpected new supporter.
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK
9pm, BBC Three
Prepare for enthusiastic gestures: it’s time to stage Peter Pansy – The Rusical! That means the stress increases for the queens to perform vocally, dance, and act and ultimately slay as they get ready for the show. And who better to guest judge than West End stage legend Mazz Murray, together with the panel including Graham Norton, Michelle Visage, and RuPaul.
The Iris Affair
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Those with a phobia of creepy crawlies will want to fast-forward as episode six begins, before something of a Mexican (or rather Sardinian) standoff occurs, when Cameron forces Iris to swap her diary for the hostaged Joy – else she’ll be “riddled with bullets” from the threatening drone controlled by Meski … How to get out of this one?
