The Comedy Series Brassic Ends Its Run with Influenced by Tarantino Finale
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. You might expect the last episode to be a greatest hits victory lap of booze, drugs and cheeky thievery. However, the vibes are distinctly darker as Vinnie (Gilgun) and the crew barricade themselves in a bar with criminal figure Davey MacDonagh for a final 50th installment seemingly influenced by Quentin Tarantino.
The Show Dragons' Den
8pm on BBC One

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK
9pm on BBC Three
Prepare for enthusiastic gestures: it’s time to present Peter Pansy – The Musical! That means the pressure is on for the queens to sing, dance, act and finally impress as they get ready for the show. And who better to guest judge than West End stage legend Mazz Murray, together with Graham Norton, Michelle Visage and RuPaul.
The Series The Iris Affair
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Those with a phobia of creepy crawlies will want to skip ahead as episode six begins, before something of a Mexican (or rather Sardinian) standoff ensues, when Cameron forces Iris to exchange her journal for the captured Joy – else she’ll be “shot repeatedly” from the threatening drone controlled by Meski … How to get out of this one?
