The Comedy Series Brassic Ends Its Run with Influenced by Tarantino Last Episode
Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are bringing the curtain down on their humorous show about a tight-knit bunch of likable chancers running riot in a countryside town in Lancashire. One could anticipate 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 gang hole up in a pub with criminal figure Davey MacDonagh for a climactic 50th episode apparently inspired by Quentin Tarantino.
Dragons’ Den
8pm, BBC One
Dancers from the ballet world enter the den this week, as mothers Laura and Stacey pitch their range of adaptive dance attire – and send Peter Jones into a spin. Next, an eye surgeon turned inventor has a smart device for misplaced tape edges.
The Series All Creatures Great and Small
9pm on Channel 5

The Hack
9pm on ITV1
It’s been a long road. But the penultimate episode of this at first slow-moving but eventually gripping phone-hacking drama sees David Tennant’s Nick discovering details about the actions of the News of the World that the other media outlets simply are forced to acknowledge. Things are also looking up for Dave, who has a surprising new ally.
RuPaul's Drag Race UK
9pm, BBC Three
Jazz hands at the ready: it’s time to present Peter Pansy – The Musical! That means the pressure is on for the drag performers to perform vocally, dance, and act and finally impress as they prepare for the production. And who better to guest judge than renowned West End star Mazz Murray, together with Graham Norton, Michelle Visage and RuPaul.
The Iris Affair
9pm on Sky Atlantic
Anyone afraid of insects will want to fast-forward as episode six begins, before something of a Mexican (or rather Sardinian) standoff ensues, 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?
